And starts flipping through the next pictures. Agree: Even if there is nothing special in the gallery, it becomes a little alarming. And what can we say about those who have confidential content?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In iOS 16, you cannot put a password on all albums at once. But there is a more subtle method: add a photo to \u201cHidden\u201d and hide this folder from the menu. This method will definitely not arouse suspicion in anyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to hide a photo on an iPhone?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you have personal photos and videos that you would hate to delete, but you can\u2019t show them to anyone. You can block them directly on your iPhone, and for maximum secrecy, move the content to cloud storage (Google Photos, Yandex Drive, and others) and password-protect it there. But more about that another time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we will tell you how to add a photo to Hidden on an iPhone without installing third-party programs. For this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Open the Photos app;<\/li><li>Select one\/several photos or videos that you want to hide;<\/li><li>Click on the three dots icon (located in the lower right corner) &gt; \u201cHide\u201d.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important: <\/strong>After these steps, hidden photos will not be displayed in the shared library. For most scenarios, these security measures are sufficient. But if your smartphone falls into the hands of a person who uses an iPhone himself, then he may be interested in the Hidden folder in the Photos application. And you can unlock it by entering a passcode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it is not enough to know how to add photos to &#8220;Hidden&#8221; on iPhone. We also need to get this folder out of sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"626\" src=\"https:\/\/ispace.ge\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Group-1-1024x626.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ispace.ge\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Group-1-1024x626.png 1024w, https:\/\/ispace.ge\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Group-1-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/ispace.ge\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Group-1-768x469.png 768w, https:\/\/ispace.ge\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Group-1-1536x939.png 1536w, https:\/\/ispace.ge\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Group-1-2048x1252.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to Find a Hidden Album on iPhone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find it, you need to open the Photos app and go to the Albums menu.
