If you’re like most people, you probably keep photos and videos hidden on your iPhone and iPad. But if you want to keep your photos and videos safe, there are a few things you can do. First, make sure that your phone is set up to encrypt your data. This will help protect your photos and videos from being accessed by anyone who doesn’t have your password or access code. Second, make sure that you have a password for each of your photos and videos. This will help protect them from being accessed by anyone who doesn’t have the right password or access code. Third, make sure that you’re using an encrypted file manager on your phone so that all of your files are encrypted when they’re stored on the device. This will help protect them from being accessed by anyone who doesn’t have the right password or access code. Finally, be careful not to store too many pictures and videos on one device. If you do, someone could easily access them if they had the right password or access code.
Apple’s hidden photos method isn’t foolproof. Anyone can go to the “Albums” tab and find the “Hidden” section under “Utilities.”
Starting with iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, though, Apple allows you to hide the “Hidden” album, as well.
This can be done in the Settings app. To get started, open the “Settings” app on your iPhone or iPad and tap “Photos.”
Scroll down and toggle-Off the “Hidden Album” option to disable this feature.
Now, when you tap the “Albums” tab in the “Photos” app, you’ll find that the “Hidden” album has disappeared.
