We all know the struggle of handing our iPhones over to friends or even family members to show them a picture and accidentally swiping to one that we rather keep hidden. Thankfully, Apple offers an easy way to hide on iPhone, so we don’t have to worry about any embarrassment.
So in this article, we’ll show you how to hide photos on iPhone in just a few simple steps:
Step 1: Open the Photos app on your iPhone
The first step in hiding photos on the iPhone is to open the Photos app. Just tap the app icon, and it should open up to your collection of photos.
Step 2: Select the photos you want to hide
Select the photos that you want to hide from your iPhone. Tap on the ‘Select’ option that is available on the top right corner of the screen.
Step 3: Tap on the ‘Share’ icon
Once you have ed the photos, you will see a share icon located at the bottom left corner of your screen. Tap on this icon, and you will see a list of options.
Step 4: Select ‘Hide’
After tapping on the share icon, scroll through the list of options, and select ‘Hide.’ You will then receive a message that says, “This photo will be hidden from the moments view and any albums.” Click on ‘Hide Photo.’
Step 5: Check if your photos are hidden
After successfully following all the previous steps, you should then check to make sure that your photos have been hidden. To do this, go to the ‘Albums’ tab and scroll until you see ‘Hidden.’ You will now find all the photos that you previously hid.
Step 6 (optional): Unhide your photos
In case you accidentally hid some photos, or you’re done with hiding some of them, you can always unhide them. Go to the ‘Hidden’ tab, select all the photos you want to bring back, and click on the ‘Unhide’ option located at the bottom left corner of the screen.
In conclusion, hiding photos on iPhone is a significant way to protect our privacy. Follow the above-mentioned steps to easily hide your pictures and make sure your privacy is secure. One thing to remember, though, is that hiding photos will only remove them from your library view. They will still be visible in your ‘Camera Roll’ or any other album you have saved them to. But, as long as they are out of sight and away from prying eyes, you can take comfort in knowing that your private photos are safe.
