The Galaxy S8 is taking the Galaxy S7's Private Mode and expanding upon it with a new feature they call Secure Folder. It's basically a folder that locks and encrypts everything from photos, to files, notes, and even apps.
  1. Open the Settings app
  2. Lock screen and security
  3. Tap Secure Folder
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions
You should now see a Secure Folder on your home screen. You can add photos, videos, files, notes, and apps by doing the following:
  • Open the Secure Folder
  • Tap (+) ADD to add more apps to the folder
To add items to the Secure Folder, such as a photo, simply open it and if the item can be moved to the Secure Folder, you should see the option by tapping the 3-dot menu icon and selecting "Move to Secure Folder."
