how to hide photos on iphone

To hide photos on an iPhone, use the native Photos app feature to move selected photos or videos to a Hidden album that is not visible in your main photo library. Here is a step-by-step guide:

  • Open the Photos app on your iPhone.
  • Select the photo(s) or video(s) you want to hide.
  • Tap the More button (three dots) in the top-right corner.
  • Tap "Hide" and confirm your choice.
  • The selected items will move to the Hidden album, which is hidden from your main library view.

To access your hidden photos:

  • Open the Photos app and tap the Albums tab.
  • Scroll down to find the Hidden album under Utilities.
  • Tap it and use Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode to unlock and view your hidden photos.

For additional privacy, you can hide the Hidden album itself:

  • Open Settings and go to Photos.
  • Toggle off "Show Hidden Album."
  • This will make the Hidden album disappear from the Photos app albums list.

If you want to unhide photos, open the Hidden album, select the photos, and tap "Unhide" to return them to your main photo library. These steps ensure your private photos are kept out of casual view on your iPhone while allowing you easy management of this content.
