Welcome to <\/span><\/i>TNW Basics<\/span><\/i><\/a>, a collection of tips, guides, and advice on how to easily get the most out of your gadgets, apps, and other stuff.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Photography can be a perilous hobby \u2014 just ask Jeff Bezos. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Amazon kingpin had to <\/span>tell the world<\/span><\/a> about his \u201cbelow-the-belt selfies\u201d to avoid <\/span>an alleged blackmail<\/span><\/a> by the National Enquirer.<\/span><\/p>\n

While you may not have beef with a sleazy tabloid or a love of dick pics, there\u2019s a high chance that you\u2019ve got some sensitive photos of your own.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps you have an embarrassing picture with a former partner. Or maybe, like me, you\u2019ve been snapped making vast charitable donations \u2014 and don\u2019t want your selfless philanthropy getting leaked to the press.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sure, you could diminish these dangers by deleting the snaps \u2014 but some embarrassing photos are too precious to expunge. Thankfully, there are ways to reduce the risks while keeping the pics for your perverse pleasure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the most useful methods is provided by Google Photos. If you\u2019re one of over 1 billion people who have used the service, you can shelter your snaps from prying eyes by using the Locked Folder feature.<\/span><\/p>\n

Items in your Locked Folder are hidden from the Photos grid, memories, search, and albums. They\u2019re also invisible to other apps on your device that have access to your images and videos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to use the feature.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Set up Locked Folder<\/b><\/h2>\n
