Concealing photo albums on iPhone and iPad provides you with a fantastic secret storage space that nobody else knows about. With just a few simple steps, the hidden photo album directory on iPhone and iPad will vanish, and only you will know how to retrieve it.
Apple's iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 have introduced the sought-after feature of hidden photo albums, which many people are eagerly embracing. This feature is of great interest because hiding photos on iPhone and iPad has been incredibly challenging until now. For individuals storing sensitive photos on their iPhones, it seemed like they had reached a dead end with no solution. However, hiding albums will give you access to a secret treasure trove of valuable images.
1. How to Conceal Photo Albums on iPhone and iPad.
Before hiding photo albums, it's crucial to understand how this feature works.
Specifically, when images are hidden, they are placed into the 'Hidden' album, still visible within the Photos folder. However, activating the hide feature in Settings will make them disappear.
Step 1: Check the Hidden folder by opening Photos (1) => Albums (2) => Hidden (3).
Step 2: Open any photo album on your iPhone or iPad and select the images you want to hide from your device.
Step 3: Next, press Select and choose the images you want to hide on your iPhone or iPad (unlimited number of images can be hidden).
Step 4: Finally, tap Share (1) => Hide (2) to place the images into the Hidden album.
Step 5: Now, the Hidden album on your iPhone or iPad will contain the images you just hid. You can press Hidden to review the hidden image and video content.
Step 6: Return to the home screen of your phone, open Settings, and select Photos.
Step 7: In the Photo settings on your iPhone or iPad, simply deactivate the Hidden Album.
Step 8: Now, the Hidden Album folder will disappear from the iPhone's Photos app. This means that the hidden image content has been successfully removed from your device.
When you want to view hidden content, the only way is to access Settings => Photos => Activate Hidden Album and open Photos to view.
2. How to Unhide Images in the Hidden Album
When you no longer wish to store hidden images, simply unhide them to view them anytime without the need for multiple image protection steps.
Step 1: Open Settings, navigate to Photos, and activate Hidden Album.
Step 2: Access the Photos section on your iPhone or iPad and open the Hidden Album.
Step 3: Tap Select (1) to choose the images you want to unhide, then select Share (2) => Show (3).
Instantly, the images will no longer be hidden, and you can view them whenever necessary.
With these few clever tricks, you can conceal secret images without anyone knowing unless they know how to reveal them. Hopefully, this sharing will help you fully utilize the feature on iOS 14!
