With the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, you have the ability to create a secure folder to keep your apps, files, documents, and other personal data private. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a secure folder, which hides your content behind a lock type of your choice. Follow these steps to secure your important information with ease.
Step 1: Open Settings
To begin, unlock your Samsung Galaxy S25 FE and navigate to the main Settings app. You can recognise the Settings app by its gear-shaped icon typically found on your home screen or app drawer.

Step 4: Set Up Your Secure Folder
Under More Security Settings, locate "Secure Folder" and tap on it. Then, select "Continue" (continue) to initiate the setup process for the secure folder. You will be required to allow access to your calendar, contacts, photos, and other data to configure the folder properly.
Step 5: Choose Security Features
You will be prompted to select a security option for your Secure Folder, such as a PIN, password, or pattern. You also have the choice to use your existing lock screen security. For this guide, we will select a pattern lock. Enter your chosen pattern and confirm it.

Select "Lock and Exit" (lock and exit) to save your settings and ensure your secure folder operates correctly. On your home screen, you will now see your newly created secure folder, keeping your information secure and private.
