American tech giant Google Photos’ is expanding the locked feature to non-Pixel users.
As per ANI, the feature is a secure on-device folder where users can store private pictures and videos which won’t be uploaded to Google Photos.
In this feature, users can only view whatever they stored, and they won’t be allowed to share a screenshot, or screen record any of the content unless it’s removed back out of the Locked Folder.
The feature is accessed by opening Google Photos and tapping on the ‘Library’ tab, then of ‘Utilities’ and scrolling down to ‘Locked Folder’.
If users have a non-Pixel Android phone, they might not see the option right away. Some users have reported a notification letting them know the feature’s arrival.
