To hide photos on your iPhone, you can use the Hidden album. This is a special album that’s not visible in the main Photos app, so your hidden photos will be safe from prying eyes.
To hide a photo:
- Open the Photos app.
- Tap the Select button in the top-right corner.
- Tap the photo or video you want to hide.
- Tap the Share button in the bottom-left corner.
- Scroll down and tap Hide.
- Tap Hide Photo or Hide Video to confirm.
To view your hidden photos:
- Open the Photos app.
- Tap the Albums tab at the bottom.
- Scroll down and tap Utilities.
- Tap Hidden.
If you have a passcode set up on your iPhone, you’ll need to enter it to view your hidden photos.
To unhide a photo:
- Open the Hidden album.
- Tap the Select button in the top-right corner.
- Tap the photo or video you want to unhide.
- Tap the Share button in the bottom-left corner.
- Scroll down and tap Unhide.
Your photo or video will now be visible in the main Photos app again.
Tips for hiding photos on iPhone
- If you’re using iCloud Photos, your hidden photos will be hidden on all of your iCloud devices.
- You can also hide photos from your shared albums. Just open the shared album, tap the Select button, and tap the photos you want to hide. Then, tap the Share button and tap Hide.
- If you want to keep your hidden photos extra safe, you can use a third-party app like Vault or Secret Calculator. These apps encrypt your photos and store them in a secure location.
I hope this helps!
