Your iPhone may have photos you don’t want to delete right away, but for some (privacy) reason, you don’t want them to show up in your photo library either. You can hide any of these photos on your iPhone without any third-party apps. Apple natively gives you the option to hide photos on your iPhone. You can use this option to ensure that your photos are not seen by loved ones viewing your photo library.
For a long time, Apple allowed users to hide photos from their photo library. But hidden photos are part of the “Hidden” album and are still visible in the “Albums” section of the Photos app. This experience was updated with the release of iOS 14 last year.
The iOS 14 version allows you to completely hide photos from your iPhone without using third-party apps. Here’s how you can do it.
