[Supriyo78]

Normally there is an option named 'Hide' in OneUi, but there is an option too named 'Locked Album' in OneUi 5.

Please follow the below mentioned sreps for locking albums in Gallery....

1) Open Gallery....tap on Settings....open About Gallery

2) Tap several times on version number until a message appears

3) Just press back button once and you will see a new option 'Gallery Labs'

4) Open Gallery labs where you will see several options...enable Album entry locks

5) Now delete gallery app from recent app (this step is important)

6) Now go back to gallery again and select the album which you wish to lock

7) After selecting the album (long press) click on more (3 dots on lower right hand corner)....now select lock album option

😎 To remove lock option just open that album and click three dots on upper right hand corner and select unlock
