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).
Secure Folder serves as an encrypted location for users
to store personal or sensitive notes, pictures, contacts, apps, or
documents. The app uses Samsung’s Knox security features to lock the
files within, only making them accessible through a passcode or
biometric security. The feature originally launched on the
Galaxy Note
7, and has since made its way to the international Galaxy A series, but
today’s launch marks the return of Secure Folder’s availability in the
US.
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. Assuming you’ve got that set,
Secure Folder is available now to download from Galaxy Apps.
