Folder locked on Google Photos
In the current privacy-enhancing climate, the locked folder feature for Google Photos was one of the highlights of last month’s Google I/O conference.
In the case of Pixel, it will be possible to add these images to the locked folder directly from the smartphone camera. By doing this, they are saved on the device, but do not appear in shared albums, memories or through any type of application. They can only be accessed using a password or fingerprint.

If Pixel is ringing but not close to the user, calls can now be answered (or rejected) by Google Assistant. Just say “Ok Google, answer call” or “Ok Google, reject call”. That simple.
