Today, most people carry personal photos and videos on their phones, whether pictures of family, important documents, or screenshots meant for private use. Sometimes, you may not wish for others to accidentally view these images while scrolling through your gallery. In fact, a recent study revealed that over 70% of smartphone users value personal photo privacy. If you have ever wondered how to hide photos on an iPhone, this simple guide will help you do it effortlessly.
Buying your phone is now even easier. With Bajaj Finserv, you can get a loan to fund your purchase. Check your loan eligibility and visit any of Bajaj Finserv’s 1.5 lakh stores across 4,000+ cities. Once you finalise the phone, you can buy it on Easy EMIs. You can also get zero down payment on select models.
How to hide photos using the built-in Photos app
Keeping personal photos private is important, as smartphones often store family pictures, documents, and other sensitive images. To help with this, Apple provides an easy way for iPhone users to hide photos without needing extra apps. The built-in Photos app has a ‘Hidden’ album where selected photos are removed from the main view and kept secure.
Here is how you can hide photos on your iPhone:
- Open the Photos app.
- Select the photos you want to hide.
- Tap the three dots or the Share icon.
- Choose Hide from the options.
- Confirm by tapping Hide Photo.
Using the Notes app to secure your photos
The Notes app on your iPhone is another effective way to keep sensitive images away from the gallery. Here is how you can use it:
- Open the Notes app and create a new note.
- Tap the camera icon and select Choose Photo or Video.
- Pick the photos you want to secure and add them to the note.
- Once added, tap the three dots and choose Lock Note.
- Set a password, and your photos will be hidden securely within that note.
This option is perfect for those who prefer an extra layer of protection, especially if you need to save important documents or personal images discreetly
If you feel your current device is slowing down while using privacy apps, it might be time for a newer model. You can find the latest iPhones, laptops, and tablets at Bajaj Finserv partner stores. Additionally, if you are considering buying a new mobile phone or any other electronic device, you can also explore the latest offers from Bajaj Finserv to enjoy exciting deals.
