Google Photos is rolling out an important new privacy feature to Android devices, but iPhone users will have to wait for now
Many users will have already received a notification inside the Google Photos app prompting them to try the new feature, but you can check for yourself by tapping ‘Library’ then ‘Utilities’ from the main screen. If enabled, the feature lives in the section marked ‘Organize your library’. If the Locked Folder doesn’t appear for you, then you may have to wait for Google to enable it on your device. There’s no word yet on when the feature might come to iOS.
Use of the Locked Folder, therefore, comes with a few gotchas that could result in the permanent loss of important images. Most significantly, everything stored in the Locked Folder exists only on your local device. Furthermore, when you move a file into your locked folder, all existing cloud copies are automatically erased.
This means if you erase your phone, or lose it, all of your Locked Folder items will be gone forever. This applies when doing a factory reset, or if you simply uninstall the Google Photos app. Reinstalling it won’t bring back your photos. Also note that, if you switch to a new device and choose to copy apps and data from your existing one, your Locked Folder items won’t be copied over.
