To open the Secure Folder in the Gallery on a Samsung phone, here are the steps:
- Access the Secure Folder itself:
- Swipe up from the home screen to open the App drawer.
- Find and tap on the "Secure Folder" app icon.
- If not visible, go to Settings > Biometrics and security > Secure Folder, and enable "Add Secure Folder to Apps screen" to make it appear.
- Unlock the Secure Folder by entering your PIN, pattern, password, or fingerprint.
- Inside the Secure Folder, open the "Gallery" app:
- Within Secure Folder, tap on the Gallery app to view the secure photos and videos stored there.
- To move photos or videos to the Secure Folder from the regular Gallery:
- In the regular Gallery app, select files, tap the menu (three dots), and choose "Move to Secure Folder."
- You will be prompted to authenticate before the files are moved securely.
- To make accessing the Secure Folder easier, you can:
- Add the Secure Folder icon to your home screen by long-pressing the Secure Folder icon in the app drawer and selecting "Add to Home."
- Set up the power button (side key) to open Secure Folder by going to Settings > Advanced features > Side key, then assign double press to "Open Secure Folder."
This way, the Secure Folder acts as a secure, protected space on the device where photos, videos, and other content in the Gallery app can be kept private and accessible only after unlocking the folder's security feature.
