Washington [US], October 29 (ANI): Google Photos users on iPhone and iPad will soon be able to lock their sensitive and private photos in a special password-protected folder using a new feature coming to iOS.
According to The Verge, the feature, which currently lets Pixel owners hide sensitive photos and videos in a password- or biometrically protected folder, will come to iOS early next year.
The feature was launched for Pixel 3 and later in June, and in late September, Google said it would soon be released for all Android phones. We now have a time frame for when Google Photo users on iOS will be able to protect sensitive images.
Media stored in the folder remains hidden, which means that the sensitive images are not displayed when users browse their Google Photos or other apps on their device.
Google One’s VPN service is expanding to 10 new countries this week: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. The service is already included at no extra cost with 2TB and up Google One cloud storage plans in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, UK and US.
Finally, Google has confirmed that they plan to release Security Hub which debuted on their new Pixel 6 phones on all Android phones. The hub is designed to provide a simple overview of the security of your device and provide alerts if settings such as Find My Device or a screen lock are not enabled.
9to5Google previously reported that the feature has appeared on older Pixel devices running Android 12, and now Google says they have “plans to roll this out to [its] the whole ecosystem in the future. “(ANI)
