Once we've lost the phone, we'll be very concerned about whether this information will ever leak out.

For this reason, Samsung has listened to the opinions of its customers and has posted a new feature on Samsung Galaxy S9 to help us remove the doubt, which is "Encrypt SD card".

Encryption is a process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized participants can read it.

Go to "Encrypt SD Card" and touch it. Touch the "Encrypt SD Card" again at the bottom of the screen. You will be asked to draw the pattern, or enter the password/PIN for encryption, and then the device will begin to verify the SD card and encrypt it. The process can take a long time depending on the amount of data stored.
