How to hide photos on an iPhone, here are the 3 method
1. The Hide feature
First is one of the simplest ways, using the Hide option in your iPhone gallery. This won’t protect your data from intruders, but will help you avoid embarrassing moments, where you wan to show your holiday pictures to your colleague and accidentally scrolling too far. The feature will tidy up your main photo library, hiding your photos in an album named Hidden.
Here’s how to do that:
1) Find the photo or video you want to hide and tap the Share icon.
2) Scroll down and tap Hide.
2. The Notes
The default Notes app that come with the phone offers you a bit more security than the previous option. You can move your photos to a note and lock it with a passcode, a Face ID, or a fingerprint. However, it’s still not a foolproof method, as you cannot keep adding multiple photos to the same secret note. So what you’ll need to do is create an album in Notes that will be dedicated to password-protected photos.
Here’s how:
1) In your library, find the photo or video you want to hide.
2) Click on the Share icon and select Notes.
3) Name your note, add any text to describe it if you wish, and click Save.
4) Open your Notes app and find the note with your photo.
5) Click on the Share icon in the top right-hand corner and tap Lock Note.
6) Enter a password and verify it. Optionally, you can add a hint that will help you remember the password in case you forget it.
7) Now you can go back to your gallery app and delete the photo. If you ever want to restore it in your gallery, unlock the note, click on the Share icon, and select Save.
3. The Third-party apps
Another workaround is to use third-party apps. Some of them are free, some paid, and some will even allow you to create secret folders that are easily managed and only accessed with a passcode. Here are a few you can try:
1) Secret Photo Vault
2) Best Secret Folder
3) Private Photo Vault Pro
