Solutions to Hide Photos on Your iPhone
There are several methods to hide photos on your iPhone. Below we explain the most reliable and simple methods.
Using the built-in hide feature on iPhone
The iPhone has a built-in feature that lets you hide photos. This is a quick and easy method, but it doesn’t provide any extra security like a password. The hidden photos are moved to an album called “Hidden,” which anyone with access to your Photos app can access.
Here's how you do it:
- Open the Photos app on your iPhone.
- Select the photos you want to hide.
- Tap the 'Share' button at the bottom of the screen.
- Scroll down and tap 'Hide'.
- Confirm by tapping 'Hide Photo'.
Using a reliable app to hide photos
There are several apps available that provide extra security for your hidden photos, such as setting a password, Touch ID or Face ID. One of the most reliable apps is 'Private Photo Vault'. This app has a high rating in the App Store and offers several security features.
Here's how you do it:
- Download and install Private Photo Vault from the App Store.
- Open the app and set a PIN code.
- Tap the '+' sign to add photos to the vault.
- Select the photos you want to hide and tap 'Done'.
Set up a password or Touch ID/Face ID for extra security
If you want extra security for your hidden photos, you can set up a passcode or Touch ID/Face ID. This ensures that only you can access your hidden photos, even if someone else has access to your iPhone.
Here's how you do it:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap 'Touch ID & Passcode' or 'Face ID & Passcode'.
- Enter your current access code.
- Tap 'Turn on passcode' or 'Change passcode'.
- Enter a new access code and confirm it.
Backing up hidden photos
It is always a good idea to back up your photos, including the hidden ones. You can do this using iCloud or manually transfer your photos to your computer.
Here's how you do it:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen.
- Tap 'iCloud'.
- Tap on 'Photos'.
- Turn on 'iCloud Photos'.
