How to hide photos on iPhone
In the latest operating system iOS 16, the feature to lock photos hidden on the iPhone is in the Hidden album. Its location is in the iPhone gallery. The album specifically functions to be a container for a number of photos that users hide from the iPhone gallery. Something similar did not exist in previous iOS.
In previous versions of iOS, hiding photos on the iPhone might be said to be a strange thing. Users can hide photos even though they are not actually hidden. Photos that are hidden from the gallery will move to the Hidden album. When you are in the Hidden album, it does not mean that the photo cannot be accessed by others. In older versions of iOS, photos hidden in the Hidden album were easily accessible. Other users can unlock without needing to enter a security password.
The feature to hide photos on iPhone in special albums in older versions of iOS is also less effective. However, it is different with the presence of the new operating system iOS 16. Hidden albums in the iPhone gallery can be locked. When you want to open a hidden photo, the user needs to first authorize it by entering the iPhone password.
