IPHONE owners using Google Photos are finally getting a hidden folder for those cheeky snaps you don't want anyone else to see.<\/p>\n

Google has included a Locked Folder for Android users for sometime now.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But those who use the service with an iPhone or on the web were left out.<\/p>\n

The Locked Folder provides a safe password protected spot for your sensitive pictures, away from prying eyes.<\/p>\n

Photos added to the Locked Folder also won't appear in the photo feed or other apps to spare you from embarrassment.<\/p>\n

The images within the Locked Folder can be securely backed up to the cloud.<\/p>\n
