How do I use the locked folder feature on my iPhone? Is it safe for hiding personal photos?
The “Hidden Album” in your Photos app acts like a locked folder. It’s safe for keeping personal photos out of casual view.
To Use Your Hidden Album:
- Select Photo(s): In Photos, tap “Select,” then choose images.
- Tap More Options: Look for the three dots (…) icon.
- Choose “Hide”: Confirm to move photos to the Hidden Album.
- Access Album: Go to “Albums,” scroll down to “Utilities,” and tap “Hidden.”
- Unlock: Use Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode to view.
This album is protected by your device’s security, making it a good option for privacy.
