How to use S Photo Editor to protect password-protected photos on Android

Android phone users can lock password-based photos through the S Photo Editor application. With free download, this image editor allows you to export any image from your phone's library to your secret album. With the procedure, the locked image is transferred to the app and can no longer be viewed through the system interface.

The feature, as shown in the following walkthrough, is ideal to prevent others with access to the mobile phone from seeing compromising images, such as bank details, password prints, or personal photos.
