If all goes according to plan, we can expect its release after Android 16 stabilizes in June, bringing along several intelligent tweaks and a smoother overall experience.</p><p>An X user, @DalgleishGX, discovered an intriguing feature in the latest One UI 8 beta—a new “Private Album” embedded directly in the Samsung Gallery app. The leaker believes it serves as a simpler version of Secure Folder, specifically designed for concealing photos and videos without exiting the Gallery.</p><aside data-component-name="Recirculation:ArticleRiver" data-nosnippet="">

This functionality is likely to operate like Secure Folder but exclusively for photos and videos. pic.twitter.com/cFXegOLqht<a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/cantworkitout/status/1920446883392053702" data-url="https://twitter.com/cantworkitout/status/1920446883392053702" target="_blank" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade" data-hl-processed="none">May 8, 2025</a></p></blockquote></div><aside data-block-type="embed" data-render-type="fte" data-skip="dealsy" data-widget-type="seasonal" class="hawk-base"/><p>Meanwhile, as reported by SamMobile, this “Private Album” feature may not be included in the final release of One UI 8. It currently resides in the hidden “Labs” section of the Gallery app, serving as Samsung’s playground for experimental features that are not yet meant for public use.</p><p>Some earlier speculations suggested that Samsung might utilize Android 15’s new Private Space API for this feature. This seemed plausible, especially with discussion regarding Secure Folder also utilizing this in One UI 8. Essentially, it would ensure your concealed files remain hidden and don’t randomly appear where they should not.</p><h2 id="secure-folder-s-glow-up-3">Enhancements to Secure Folder</h2><p>Secure Folder is an excellent option if you’re looking for comprehensive protection for your apps and files, but it might seem excessive if you only need to hide a few images. A built-in Private Album appears to be a more straightforward method for stashing away specific photos or videos without navigating through complicated processes.</p><p>Aside from the Private Album in Gallery, One UI 8 is poised to improve how your phone manages background tasks, leading to a smoother experience. Rumors also suggest enhanced app recommendations, improved battery management, and more integrated AI capabilities.</p><div id="slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-QoMKysZA6coASXqoUfGGrX" class="slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-QoMKysZA6coASXqoUfGGrX slice-container-newsletterForm"><div data-hydrate="true" class="newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent"><div class="newsletter-form__container"><section class="newsletter-form__top-bar"/><section class="newsletter-form__main-section"><p class="newsletter-form__strapline">Stay updated with the latest news from Android Central, your reliable guide in the Android landscape</p></section></div></div></div><p>Additional leaks and rumors indicate some exciting new features in One UI 8, including video summarization in Samsung Internet and upgrades to Secure Folder.</p>
