San Francisco: Search engine giant Google has reportedly started rolling out Locked Folder feature in Photos for non-Pixel users.
Google in September announced that the feature would be rolling out to more Android phones soon and now it has started to show up on some Samsung and OnePlus devices, reports Android Central.
The feature was released exclusively on newer Pixel phones in June.
Once the feature is live, users will be able to set up this folder after they receive a notification from Google Photos.

Even users will not be allowed to take screenshots when they are inside a secure space.
