Google Photos' Locked Folder feature spotted on more Android phones

Google Photos is starting to bring its Locked Folder feature to non-Pixel users. The company had announced back in September that it would roll out the feature that keeps sensitive pictures out of your main camera roll to other Android phones "soon." And it's being reported that some Samsung and OnePlus phones are getting it now. Older Pixel devices that didn't have access to it seem to be getting access to it now, too.

Locked Folders lets you choose specific photos or videos you want to put away in a passcode- or biometrics-locked folder, taking them out of your primary feed and off the cloud. In June, it first rolled out to Google Pixel phones (Pixel 3 and newer). The feature is expected to run on Android devices running Android 6 or later. The company also said it plans to bring it to iOS early next year.
