Google Photos recently added a new feature to its iOS app that will provide users with an extra layer of security for storing images on their mobile devices. The Locked Folder feature was released late last month and will ensure maximum privacy for images stored in the folder, while also providing users with peace of mind that their sensitive images will remain safe.
The Locked Folder feature was initially added to Google Photos on Android devices earlier this year and is now available on both iOS and Android devices. To use the feature, users will have to set up a separate secure personal folder within their Google Photos account. This folder is password-protected and completely private, meaning users can store their most sensitive images without the risk of anyone else seeing or accessing them.
Users can easily add images to the Locked Folder by simply tapping on the + button located within the folder. From here, they can select images from their camera roll, albums, or Google Photos library. Once added, the images in the Locked Folder can only be accessed with a secret password, making them invisible to anyone who is not authorized to view them.
Users can also setup security alerts within the Locked Folder on iOS devices. These alerts will notify the user if someone attempts to access their images without permission. For added security, users can also restrict access to only certain individuals by inviting those individuals to join the Locked Folder.
Google Photos’ Locked Folder is a great addition to the app, especially for those who want extra security for their images. It provides users with an extra layer of protection while ensuring that their private images remain secure and private. With iOS and Android support, the Locked Folder is now an even better way for people to store their sensitive images and maintain peace of mind.
