The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is of course equipped with the Bixby button and thus the artificial language assistant Bixby.

Unfortunately, Bixby is still not available in German, which is why many users like to do without it.

However, the Bixby key cannot be reassigned without great effort or root and therefore it makes sense to deactivate the Bixby key and therefore Bixby completely.

The Secure folder on the Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus is a place that is additionally protected. It can only be viewed with a password and is extra encrypted.

The system used here is Knox from Samsung. If you have now saved data, such as pictures or videos, in this secure folder, then you may want to move some of these data from it again, so that they are again stored in the standard memory.

Here we explain how you can move data from the secure folder. Proceed as follows:

Secure Folder Data Transfer to Normal Storage

1. Open Secure Folder

2. Select the file or image you want to move

3. Touch the three-point icon
