Now two important have appeared for the safety folder safety on a Galaxy mobile and give Alas to Now Bar, one of the greatest news of One UI 7 based on Android 15.
Safe folder is one of the extra functionalities of Samsung’s galaxy mobiles to put all kinds of Sensitive content to good collection Thanks to Samsung Knox encryption that ensures that it will be well protected. One of the previous One UI 8 suggests that Samsung would be improving the security of this experience.
Especially since weeks ago a serious security failure Related to the image selector of the Android system that allows you to choose photos of safe folder. By using the Android work profile, the selector can show contents of the work profile if it was activated on the device, something that does not usually happen in most mobile phones, but which is in itself a serious vulnerability.
One UI 8 will pivot the use of private space API Android instead of the work profile according to Sammobile. This private space exists as a separate location from the Android system where apps and data remain away from the main mobile file system. Here the image selector cannot access the files when it is blocked and a great leap in the safety of mobiles that are updated to One UI 8 would be made.
About Now Bar, just a few weeks ago it was updated with a new interaction that allows gesture To pass between the day summary or leave the mini media player. And in an initial launch it has been an important novelty, but that left the feeling of not being really finished.

In fact, in the video that has appeared filtered in X (formerly Twitter), you can see the gesture up or down to also not bother mode.
What is unknown is if from now bar You can deactivate the non -disturbing mode Or it will simply remain as the indicator, although possibly the first option, since right now, when Spotify is being reproduced and a daytime or day summary is available, both can be touched without any problems, so the interaction would be there as a possibility.
