"theverge" said : Samsung officially releases Secure Folder on the Galaxy S7

collected by : Andro Alex Samsung has officially released its Secure Folder app for the Galaxy S7 today, following a leaked version of the app that showed up earlier this week (which also may have shown off the Galaxy S8). Assuming you've got that set, Secure Folder is available now to download from Galaxy Apps. Secure Folder serves as an encrypted location for users to store personal or sensitive notes, pictures, contacts, apps, or documents. The only caveat is that you'll need to be running Android 7.0 Nougat to use Secure Folder, which may or may not be available depending on your carrier of choice. The app uses Samsung's Knox security features to lock the files within, only making them accessible through a passcode or biometric security.
