Google has extended the possibility of using the “Folder Locked” from Google photo on all devices. This feature, first arriving exclusively on the Pixel, allows you to hide private photos and videos, which you don’t want to show in the main section.
Google announced the feature Folder Locked at IO 2021 in May. It allows you to protect some photos and videos so that you can only unlock it with a security code or with the biometric options: facial recognition, fingerprint. In this way, you can prevent them from happening under the eyes of the friend to whom you lend the smartphone or of children while they play.
The feature is expected to arrive on all devices as it used to be accessible solo from Pixel 3 onwards. However, the rollout is not necessarily immediate, you may have to wait a little longer to receive it.
If you want to try using the Locked Folder feature right away, access is easy. You just have to:
By clicking on Configure, you should first enter the lock code or enter your biometric fingerprint / identification. Once done, you can select the images. In future photographs, you can directly find the item “IInsert to Locked Folder “.
This way, you can make the most of Google’s cloud storage without fear of someone seeing your most private photos and videos.
