If you are using [the *Secure folder* on your Android](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/what-is-the-secure-folder-and-how-do-i-use-it/)(this applies mainly to Samsung devices), you may face some difficulties when installing the HTTPS certificate. The thing is that the *Secure folder* has its own space where the certificates are stored. However, if you do everything according to the instructions [described here](../../overview#https-filtering), the certificate will be installed into the main memory and will play no role for your ad blocker in the *Secure folder*. To solve this problem and install the certificate for your AdGuard for Android into the *Secure folder's* storage, please follow these instructions:
:::info

1. After installing the app and connecting the VPN, tap *Turn on* next to the *HTTPS filtering is off* message.
2. Tap *Next**Next**Save it now**Allow*.
3. Save the certificate (at this stage, you can rename it to make it easier to find).
4. After the *How to install a certificate?* popup appears, DO NOT tap *Open Settings*.
5. Minimize the app and go to the secure folder.
6. Tap the three-dot menu and go to additional security settings.
7. Tap *Install from memory**CA certificate**Install anyway* → Enter a graphic key/password/fingerprint → Find and select the saved certificate.
8. Return to the AdGuard app and close the "How to install a certificate?" popup by tapping the cross button.
9. Done! The certificate has been installed.

If you install AdGuard to [the *Secure folder* on your Android](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/what-is-the-secure-folder-and-how-do-i-use-it/) (this applies mainly to Samsung devices), you may face some difficulties when installing the HTTPS certificate. The thing is, the *Secure folder* has its own space where the certificates are stored. However, if you do everything according to the regular certificate installation instructions ([described here](../../overview#https-filtering)), the certificate will be installed into the main memory and will play no role for your ad blocker in the *Secure folder*. To solve this problem and install the certificate for your AdGuard for Android into the *Secure folder's* storage, please follow these instructions instead:

1. After installing the app and connecting the local VPN, tap **ENABLE** next to the *HTTPS filtering is off* message.
1. Tap **Next****Next****Save it now****Save certificate**.
1. Save the certificate (at this stage, you can rename it to make it easier to locate it later, which you will need to do).
1. After the *Installation instructions* popup appears, **DO NOT** tap **Open Settings**.
1. Minimize the app and go to the *Secure folder*.
1. Tap the three-dot menu and go to **Settings** → **Other security settings**.
1. Tap **Security certificates****Install from device storage****CA certificate****Install anyway**
1. Confirm installation with your graphic key/password/fingerprint →
1. Find and select the previously saved certificate, then tap **Done**.
