What is Private Space in Android 15?

Question

Would someone explain what the ‘Private Space’ feature is in the new Android 15 update?

Answer 1

Android 15 has a very interesting feature called Private Space which allows users to create a safe area on the phone for securing files, images, apps or any other data, in general, which the users consider sensitive. One can locate it within the app drawer’s bottom section under Apps > ‘Settings’> ‘Security & Privacy’. Users also don’t have to worry about whether this space is secure, as an additional lock, different from the phone lock, is enabled on this space.

Private Space seems to be an Android-level implementation of Samsung's Secure Folder.
