Secure Folder
Secure Folder protects your private content and apps, such as pictures and contacts,
from being accessed by others. You can keep your private content and apps secure even
when the device is unlocked.
Secure Folder is a separate, secured storage area. The data in Secure Folder cannot
be transferred to other devices through unapproved sharing methods, such as
USB or Wi-Fi Direct. Attempting to customise the operating system or modifying
software will cause Secure Folder to be automatically locked and inaccessible.
Before saving data in Secure Folder, make sure to back up a copy of the data in
another secure location.
