One UI 8 will allegedly upgrade Samsung's Secure Folder with a Private Space


Even more rumors, but this one's all about keeping your sensitive information secure.

Tipster IposDev has allegedly been sifting through an early Samsung One UI 8 build, claiming the OS will upgrade Secure Folder with Google software (via SamMobile). Supposedly, the early test build offers insight into the API swap of Secure Folder from Samsung's old work profile preference to Google's Private Spaces. A vulnerability in One UI 7 was discovered earlier this year, which exposed users' media files in Secure Folder (images, videos) to other apps, which wasn't supposed to happen.
