Every phone user is seeking better privacy on their devices and for this Google the biggest tech giant in the world working on its OS – Android for a long time. Here’s a summary of all the security-related novelties Google announced in their I/O summit earlier this week.
Password-Protected Photo Folder
One pretty great addition announced at Google I/O 2021 is a new way to hide your sensitive snaps in Google Photos. A new “secret” album is coming to the cloud photo storage app, which is both hidden from view and securely protected by a password.

The locked folder will not appear openly alongside the rest of your images in Google Photos (or any other apps, for the record). Instead, it can be accessed in a separate place and only by you. For the record, even if you’re an avid iPhone user, you can still download a free iOS version of Google Photos and benefit from all its features.
According to Google, we will be seeing this new “locked folder” feature soon on Google Pixel devices, with the rest of Samsung’s Android device line-ups receiving it later this year.
