You can lock folders like this
To lock the folder, you have to first go to the library. After that you can go to the utility. And then in the Google Photos app, you can choose the lock folder. Users can also move photos manually. Let us tell you that to hide any photo, nowadays you will find many apps in the Android Play Store. But for the photo store in these apps, you also have to give many permissions which prove to be dangerous in the end. You cannot even trust your privacy on these apps. So you should wait for this feature of Google.
