How to Hide your Photos without deleting them in iPhone

Hide Your Photos

The simple procedure you know to Hide your Photos from prying eyes is to store them on a hard drive or a PC but that is not always convenient and also worst as it implies removing them from the handset. Then you may not be able to see those pictures anymore. However, there are some other procedures of hiding your images without removing them from your mobile.

If you want to Hide your Photos on your iPhone from the Photos app, follow these steps:

Go to Photos gallery

Then it displays all pictures in your mobile.

Open an image and then click on it.

Then it opens a second menu

Click Next

Select the Hide option
After that Choose to hide the image from that menu

Then click on Hide Photo option.
The Photo will be hidden from moments, collections and Years, but still it will be visible in Albums.
Then it will disappear from the photo gallery.

By this move most unsuspecting users will be fooled but hardcore fans of iPhone will get to know for searching a hidden album that appears in the app’s Album section called Hidden. This is not a foolproof method for hiding your images in other words.

This photo hiding technique is not used with really sensitive pictures that you don’t need others to see.

There are some more specialized apps that provides a password protected filing system as you can save your images from the photos app.

The video created by Business Insider, describes you one kind of app. By using that app you can save as well as delete the images from your collection with two taps.

Be careful, that once you delete pictures on iOS devices, they will be stored temporarily in a Recently deleted Album in iOS 8 or later. Conform that you delete them from that album as well once you have saved them in your photo backup app of choice.
