Most of us take a multitude of photos on our smartphones, but you may want to hide some of the more personal ones from prying eyes. Here’s how on an iPhone.
There are all sorts of reasons why you’d want to hide photos on your iPhone. Maybe you took an embarrassing photo of your sibling and need to keep it safe while having it at the ready to tease them about. Or, maybe you’re planning a gift for your significant other and don’t want them to find the evidence before they receive it. Whatever your reason, here’s how to hide photos in iOS 16.
In situations like these, the ability to hide photos on your phone becomes invaluable, especially if you have children or friends who use your device often. Here, we’ll detail how to hide your images on your iPhone or iPad — the methods are nearly identical.
