How to access photos stored on Google Photos Locked Folder on iOS and web
Google added a dedicated passcode-based Locked Folder in Google Photos as a way for users to separate their sensitive photos and keep them separate from regular photos. The feature was nice and brought the required privacy to users.
However, the Locked Folder in Google Photos wasn’t a part of the backup option and users back then didn’t have the option to back up the photos and videos saved in the Locked folder.
However, Google has changed that with its latest announcement. Going forward, users will be able to choose whether they want to add a Locked folder to the backup or not.
