Google Photos ‘Locked Folder’ feature coming to iOS next year

Google Photos will soon get the Locked Folder feature, a passcode-protected space on Android and iOS devices. This feature will enable the users to store sensitive images in a separate folder that is protected by a password.

The Google Photos locked folder was first launched for the Pixel 3 back in June 2021. Later, Google announced in September 2021 that the feature will be available for all Android users. Now Google has announced that the feature will be available for iPhone users, starting early next year.

“Back in May, our Photos team introduced Locked Folder on Pixel – a passcode-protected space where you can save photos and videos separately, so they won’t show up as you scroll through Google Photos or any other apps on your device. We’re excited to share that this feature is coming to Google Photos on Android soon, and to iOS early next year,” the company said in the blog post.

The company also announced an expansion of its VPN services to 10 more countries. Google VPN is part of Google One and will now be available in these countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland.
