Differences between Secure Folder and MyKnox

[insomniacandroid]

Hello guys,
I am asking about the differences between MyKnox and Secure Folder.

They seems to be similar because they have similar functions. In particolar MyKnox has some issues:

1. Locked Apps list is visible when MyKnox is opened (but you need to use a code/finger scan to proceed);
2. Locked Apps appear in RAM, Battery and Location usage.

Therefore using Myknox you cannot completely hide apps.
What about Secure Folder? Are they completely hidden?

No, not completely hidden with Secure Folder. The apps are still visible under Settings>Applications. Also they will show up as you describe, if they have been opened.

But still, anyone who found your phone and who didn't specifically go searching for something, would probably not see them.

Thanks... therefore there arent any differences between secure folder and myknox. Its only a re brand.

I've not used MyKnox, but I believe it's basically the same thing.

For sure. It's so annoying that Samsung cannot find a way to completely hide apps.
