Secure folder lock options change

[jinnra]

Why was the 'lock after exit' option removed from secure folder? This was an absolutely necessary option and now it's no longer available, at least on oneui beta. BRING IT BACK OR CREATE A PROPER APP LOCK

Why was someone's child using your phone? Do you have your phone itself secured? If you are going to let others use your phone, you will have to remember to hit lock and exit. I think you can hide the secure folder.

That's a good question, but my phone just stays unlocked at home, you know? It's always lying around, and I guess some little rascal cracked my super-secret password, which was, like, 1, 2, 3, 4, and left a Roblox download as a clue. 😅

Well, first, when you have company, try to keep the phone on your person - it's not just kids you can't trust.  Second, I think you need to create a more secure PIN and write it down somewhere safe in case you forget it.  Third, now that you know, get in the habit of tapping the dots and lock & exit. 

I don't use secure folder, but I do think it was not smart for them to change the locking mechanism without a) notifying users of the change (they have the ability to have an in-app notification when you first open it to inform one of the change) and/or, b) have a separate, visible, lock & exit icon. And, I know if I was a first time user of the folder, I would just assume that the folder locks when  you exit it.

You really should send feedback.

Yes, thank you and exactly! I took everyone's advice and sent feedback, and hopefully, the feature comes back! 🙏 🤞

I don't think that it is coming back. It has not been very pleasant when multitasking and moving between various screens to have to always unlock a screen again when you move back to it within a short peroid of time.

That's total BS. I'm sorry if tapping your finger on the sensor is too hard to make the better security worthwhile, but not everyone agrees. From the enormous number of complaints, it seems the autolock was actually VERY popular. And the oh so helpful advice of, "Just remember to lock it manually!" is poppycock. The same way you find it inconvenient to very quickly unlock the secure folder every time you switch TO it, I find it even more inconvenient to use the much slower and complicated method of having to navigate BACK to the folder itself to lock it after I finish whatever secured app I was using every single time I switch apps when out and about (phone snatching is EXTREMELY common here, no way am I risking my info being completely open to a phone snatcher). And the minimum time limit is 5 minutes. I can snatch a phone, blend into a crowd and transfer every cent from a wide open banking app in 2 minutes easily.

Of course, you're entitled to your opinion. Thank you for sharing.

It does not look like you sent the actual feedback.
