Question Secure Folder - Samsung forgot a point here ? secure folder warning on samsung switch application

[karan2394]

I transferred old phone's data to new S23 ultra using samsung switch application.
warning said: whatsapp media is not transferred via switch app, hence you need to back up separately, which i did.

however, after transferring the data and resetting old phone, i realized it did not transfer my data from secure folder.

Lost thousands of pictures and videos.

I understand it's a secure folder and as a security feature of it, it shouldn't have copied over. However, a warning could have been a savior.

Sad..

That really sucks, sorry to hear. But I also used Smart Switch and my Secure Folder files transferred just fine.

yes you can choose in smart switch to transfer also the secure folder and what is in it. I have all my data from old phone that was stored in secure folder.

You probably did not check the secure folder transfer.
