It's still mostly useless. You get one giant locked folder. You can't have multiple locked folders or categorize the contents within it in any way. You can't put photos in the locked folder into albums or search through them (by face, location, etc.) or even edit them.
You also can't share photos within the Locked Folder. But if they were already shared before being moved there, and you have backup enabled for Locked Folder, then they somehow remain shared?
What they really need to do is fix up the album feature.
Right now you can hide an album from your library, but only if you are already sharing that album in some way. And accessing them once hidden is unintuitive, because unless you already knew about that sharing requirement, how are you to know that they will still show up in the Sharing tab (and that they won't be hidden from there too like you would expect)? I hid one as a test and then had to Google how to find it again.
There should be a Locked Albums feature:
Albums hidden from Library and Sharing (unless you enable the toggle)
All photos in those albums hidden from Photos and Archive and Search (unless you enable the toggle)
Require password or biometric to access
