We all have images cluttering our iPhone. Maybe they're memes, cooking recipes, or a motivational picture that you got in the Mail. It's the type of images that you wouldn't hang in your digital photo frame, but you don't want to get rid of them, in case you need them. Fortunately, iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 have a solution for these types of pictures: A hidden folder. Here's how you can hide images in the Photos app on iPhone and iPad.
What does hiding a photo do, exactly?
When you hide an image from your Photos library, it effectively disappears from your main photos view (which includes Moments, Collections, and Years). The image will still be available in Albums and searches, however.
Where can I find my Hidden album?
The Hidden album is located in the Photos app, in the Albums tab, right at the bottom. However, it's possible that you can't see it there. Fear not, what happens is that Apple gives you the option to hide your Hidden album too. If you don't see it, here's what you need to do.
How to hide or show your Hidden album
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap on Photos.
- Scroll down again until you find Hidden Album.
Toggle Hidden album on or off if you want to show or hide it.
