Removing “Lock Secure Folder immediately on exit” was a terrible decision.

Secure Folder exists for privacy and peace of mind. Without instant locking, it stays accessible after exit unless users manually lock it or wait for the screen to turn off. That defeats the whole purpose.

Real situation: I hand my unlocked phone to someone for just 10 seconds—to make a call, show a photo, or check something—and now I have to feel anxious wondering if Secure Folder is still accessible.

Privacy features should reduce stress, not create it.

This wasn’t some minor toggle. For many users, this was an essential security feature.

Please restore: 🔒 Lock Secure Folder immediately when exiting

Give users the choice back. If some prefer delayed locking, fine—but don’t remove the instant lock option for everyone.

If you agree, upvote so Samsung sees this.

    Yes, I think Samsung needs to add a time limit of 5 or 2 seconds, like that. I think it's a real problem for all.
