Google Photos for Android and iPhone now lets you back up and sync the private Locked Folder to access images and videos on any device.
that does exactly what its name suggests. It locks all the photos and videos you want to hide from prying eyes. Only your password and fingerprint can access them. This is a great feature to protect private images and videos.
In other words, you’ll now be able to access those sensitive images on iPhones and iPads as well, not just your Android handsets and tablets. Photos and videos you save and back up in your Locked Folder still won’t appear anywhere else in the app — you won’t see them in your photos grid, Memories, albums or when you search photos in Google Photos. When you turn on backup for Locked Folder, you’ll be able to access that content across your devices when you sign in to Google Photos and open Locked Folder with your device’s passcode.
This is a great feature to take advantage of. It fixes one of the obvious problems with how Google Photos’s Locked Folder initially worked. If someone stole your device that had the Locked Folder, or if you lost your phone, you’d lose access to those precious images forever.
