How do you move pictures from the Locked Photo to a new device?

Just got the new Pixel 6 Pro, but I wanna move some pictures from my Pixel 5's Locked Folder.

It looks like for now, you'd have to move the photo out of the Locked Folder on the Pixel 5, which should then allow to sync to your Google Photos in the cloud. Once it syncs over to your new Pixel 6 Pro, you can then put it back into the Locked Folder there.

If you don't want it to sync in the cloud at all, then after moving it out of the Locked Folder on the Pixel 5, you could copy it to your computer via USB, and then transfer the photo to the new phone via USB again.

It looks like Google plans to work on making the Locked Folder synced to the cloud, but it's unclear when that will happen: https://www.androidcentral.com/google-photos-locked-folder-cloud-sync-limitation
