You may have photos on your iPhone that 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 photo in iPhone without any third-party application. Apple itself provides the option for you to hide photos on your iPhone. You can use this option to ensure that your loved ones don’t see your photos when they view your photo library.
For quite some time, Apple has allowed users to hide photos in their Photos library. But the hidden photo is part of a “hidden” album that remains 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 this.
How to hide photos on iPhone without using third-party apps
Before starting the steps on how to hide photos on iPhone without using third-party apps, make sure your iPhone is running on at least iOS 14. It’s also worth pointing out that hidden albums are enabled by default on iOS. But you can turn it off by following the steps below. Additionally, you can also hide videos by following the same steps you use to hide photos.
-
Open the Photos app on your iPhone.
-
Select the photo or video you want to hide. You can also select multiple photos or videos by clicking the “Select” button in the upper right corner of the screen.
-
Click share button and select hide from the menu.
-
Confirm that you want to hide the selected photo or video.
-
Now, go to set up and click photo.
-
Scroll down and close Hide album options.
You can follow steps 5 and 6 and turn on the Hide Album option again to view the folder in the Photos app. It should be noted that any photos or videos you hide may appear on third-party applications. You can also hide or unhide photos on iPad by following the given steps on iPadOS.
