Samsung Wallet app recognized harmful by Google Play Protect
Samsung Galaxy users recently encountered a security issue when Google Play Protect marked the Samsung Wallet app as potentially harmful after a similar incident involving the Samsung Messages app. Users received pop-up messages warning them that there was a problem with their device’s security and asked them to disable the apps.
Samsung has clarified that this issue resulted from a temporary failure on Google’s server, which has since been resolved. Users can now safely continue using the Samsung apps without compromising their device’s security or data.
At present, the company has solved this problem for the Message app, but it has not yet been confirmed whether it has been fixed for the Wallet app or not.
For those who followed the pop-up instructions and disabled these apps, it’s possible to re-enable them while resetting various app settings like notifications, data usage, and permissions. Importantly, this process won’t erase existing data in the Messages and Wallet apps.
To reset app settings, users should follow these simple steps. Navigate to Settings >> select Apps >> click on the More options icon >> choose Reset app settings >> confirm the reset, and then restart the device. This specific procedure ensures users can return to using their apps without any security concerns.

Users of Galaxy smartphones running Samsung‘s One UI 6.1 have reported that they are unable to delete the Secure Folder app after installing its update. This issue is mainly affecting flagship devices that recently received the One UI 6.1 update. Due to this issue, users are not able to use this app at their convenience.
However, Samsung has acknowledged the issue with the Secure Folder app in its latest One UI 6.1 update. This issue affects several flagship devices including the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9.
According to the community moderator, the issue occurred while integrating the latest Google security policies, resulting in the distribution of a non-deletable version of the Secure Folder app, specifically version 1.9.10.27.
The Korean tech giant is preparing to release a fix to address this problem. Users will be able to download the updated app through the Galaxy Store. To update, simply open the Galaxy Store, search for ‘Secure Folder’, and select the update option.
Users are encouraged to update their Secure Folder app as soon as the new version is available to maintain optimal performance and security of their personal data.

One UI 6.1 update offers several new features and Galaxy AI for the Galaxy S23 series as well as some unexpected bugs and changes, particularly in the way folder backgrounds are displayed. But the good news is that Samsung will fix the One UI 6.1 folder background issue with the next Home Up update.
Previously, with One UI 6.0, users had the option to adjust the background blur to a near-transparent 1% using the Home Up Good Lock app feature. However, the recent upgrade to One UI 6.1 has resulted in an unexpected opacity of folder backgrounds.
Users have reported that despite attempts to turn the Home Up feature off and on like a reset, the folder background remains unaffected and completely opaque. This is different from the Apps screen, which still responds to adjustments in HomeUp settings.
In response to these concerns, a community moderator has confirmed that a solution is underway with a new update of the Home Up app. The next update of this Good Lock module will resolve the non-responsive background blur control issue for folders. The update is expected to be available soon and will restore the customization options that users have been missing.
