How To Hide My Photos In Facebook. Everyone likely has a few images resting on their iPhone they 'd rather no one else see, whether it's embarrassing selfies, badly filtered or modified pictures, a photo of a receipt or personal paperwork, or anything else in the world of private pictures.

Those photos can make revealing someone another picture on your iPhone (or iPad) an uncomfortable experience, as you're hoping they do not begin skimming your Cam Roll to find that dreadful photo of you after winning the pie consuming contest. Thankfully the newest versions of iOS include a new method to mitigate that prospective awkwardness by hiding select photos.

The picture concealing feature must be allowed separately for each image, as it's set on a per-image basis. At the moment there is no bulk hide function like there is with the ability to bulk remove a lot of images at one time, so you may want to get in the habit of frequently concealing the photos you do not desire to show up in your general pictures app views.

Note this function is readily available only to iOS 8 and newer, and though we're going to focus on the iPhone here, it works the exact same on the iPad and iPod touch too.

Hiding an Image in iOS

• Open Pictures and go to Electronic camera Roll or Albums as usual


• Tap on the picture you want to conceal, this will open it as usual


• Tap and hang on the picture itself to bring up an action menu, choose "Hide".


• Verify that you want to hide the image by tapping "Hide Picture".

Now that a picture or lots of are concealed, they'll end up being invisible to the Collections, Years views, and instead are positioned in a different "Covert" album.

Accessing Your Hidden Photos in iOS.

• Open the Photos app and tap on "Albums" view.


• Find in the list of Albums the folder called "Hidden" (note the thumbnail is not instantly generated for that folder, providing extra personal privacy).


• Find your covert photos in the Hidden Album.

This is where all your covert images will be kept.



Note that while an image is concealed, it can still be shared or sent through messages as normal, as long as you access it from this covert album.

Unhiding a Picture in iOS.

• From the Concealed picture album, tap on the image you desire to unhide.


• Tap and hang on the photo and select "Unhide" from the submenu that appears.

This sends out the photo back to the basic Camera Roll and it becomes accessible to all albums and collections views once again.

Is the Image Truly Surprise on the iPhone? Sort of.

It is essential to understand how the conceal photo function works: the picture( s) are concealed from the cam roll, Moments, Collections, and Year view, however are still noticeable in a photo album not-so-discretely called "Hidden". In other words, while this is extremely efficient at hiding photos from casual iPhone usage and from browsing your images in iOS, anybody who understands to try to find the 'Hidden' album can still view the covert images.

This is a good method of managing your really private pictures, but if you're concerned about somebody finding the Hidden photos album, think about using the send-to-self trick to avoid offering picture album and camera roll gain access to, or possibly just message them the pictures instead.
