Share This:

The iPhone is one of the most popular and innovative smartphones on the market, and it has a wide range of features that make it both easy to use and highly functional. One feature that many people find useful is the ability to hide photos on their iPhone. Hiding photos can help you keep images private or simply declutter your photo library.

Fortunately, hiding photos on an iPhone is easy to do. There are two ways to go aout it, depending on which version of iOS you are running.

If you have iOS 8 or later:
1. Open the Photos app and tap Albums at the bottom of your screen.
2. Tap the “Hidden” album that appears in the list of albums at the top of your screen. If this album doesn’t appear, you will need to create it by tapping on “Edit” in the upper-right corner and then tapping “+” in the upper-left corner.
3. Once you have opened the Hidden album, select any photos or videos you would like to hide by tapping them and then tapping “Done” in the upper-right corner when you are finished selecting images.
4. Tap “Hide” at the bottom of your screen and confirm that you would like to hide thse items by tapping “Hide Photo/Video” again when prompted with a pop-up message from Apple confirming your selection.

If you have iOS 7:
1. Open the Photos app and tap Albums at the bottom of your screen, then tap “All Photos” at the top left of your screen (it will be highlighted blue).
2. Select any photos or videos you would like to hide by tapping them and then tapping “Done” in the upper-right corner when finished selecting images or videos.
3. Tap “Share” in the bottom left corner (the arrow pointing up) and select “Hide” from among all available options listed in this menu (it will be twards the bottom). When prompted with a pop-up message from Apple confirming your selection, tap “Hide Photo/Video” again to confirm that you would like to hide those items from view within your photo library on your iPhone device itself only (they will still appear if synced with iCloud).

Once hidden, these photos will no longer apear in collections such as Moments, Collections, or Years within Photos app—but they can still be accessed via searching for them directly within Photos app search bar or through Albums > Hidden album as mentioned above; so don’t worry about losing them forever! Additionally, these hidden items can still be shared via other methods such as AirDrop, text messages/iMessages, Messages App etc., so bear this in mind when deciding which images/videos should remain public versus private within your photo library on iPhone device itself .

With these simple steps users can easily keep their images private while stil being able to access them quickly if needed!

To access it, simply select the pictures you want to hide away and press the little menu icon in the bottom left of the screen. This will give you the option to move them into your secret folder, which can then be accessed at any time.

Then, create a folder by dragging an invisible app (like a blank page or empty note) onto the app you want to hide. This will make the two apps apear as one icon. Once the folder is created, move the app you want to hide to the second page in the folder by holding it and dragging it to the right. Finally, press the home button and your secret folder will be complete!

Locking Hidden Photos for Increased Security

No, unfortunately you cannot lock your hidden photos. Even though you can hide photos in your iPhone’s Hidden album, the photos are still accessible to anyone who has access to your unlocked phone.

You then have the option of setting up a password or PIN code for added security. Additionally, the app also offers additional features such as photo editing and sharing options.
