This makes sense from a privacy perspective, as cloud backups always have an element of vulnerability, but it's worth bearing in mind if you're hoping to keep those private snaps secure. On the plus side, this means it's not possible for them to show up in Google Photos Memories, shared albums, or any other apps.īut unfortunately for those who were hoping for a cloud-based private folder for Google Photos, those photos won't be backed up anywhere – so if anything happens to your phone, you may well lose them.Īlso, if you move existing photos or videos to the Locked Folder, Google says that "cloud backups of these items will be deleted". While we're not sure what the dog above has done to deserve being stashed in the Locked Folder, it certainly looks like a handy new feature – albeit one with some limitations.Īs Google confirmed in its new post on the feature, all Locked Folder photos are saved locally on your phone and aren't backed up.
