Fortunately, the iPhone and iPad offer an easy-to-use option that lets you conceal images from your Camera Roll.
Our Camera Roll is crammed with photographs we want to save, but don’t need cluttering up. You may have images of personal information that you don’t want others to view when you’re on your morning commute looking through your photos.
As soon as you conceal a picture or video, it is moved to the “Hidden” album, which is accessible only by tapping the album name. The Hidden album may be disabled in iOS 15 so that all of the photographs are totally hidden. Unhiding photographs and videos and reactivating the Hidden album is completely up to you.
People used to rely on third-party applications or keep sensitive data in the cloud for many years. As it turned out, none of the options were optimal.
Fortunately, the Photographs app on your iPhone now allows you to hide photos natively. In iOS 14, Apple introduced the functionality. It’s now possible to save images out of sight on your iPhone or iPad with the new Hide function.
