Google Photos will bring Locked Folders feature to all Android phones

Google Photos brings its private photo-friendly feature to all Android phones, at least those running on Android 6 and above. The company announced that the Locked Folder feature would be coming to users beyond Pixel owners soon. It was initially launched for newer Pixels back in June.The feature lets you lock photos behind a password-protected space in Google Photos.

You set up a Locked Folder by going to Library > Utilities > Locked Folder in the app. You can then move your photos manually to the folder. It isn't clear if Google will let you save new shots directly into the said folder like you can with the Pixel camera app. Google has plans to bring many new features to Android this fall. Perhaps Locked Folders will roll out then, too.
