How to Hide Your Photos on iPhone Without Using Third-Party App

Your iPhone may have photos that you don’t want to delete right away, but for some (privacy) reason, you don’t want them to show up in your Photo Library either. You can hide any of those photos on your iPhone without the need for third-party apps. Apple has natively provided the option to allow you to hide your photos on your iPhone. You can use that option to make sure your photos are not visible to loved ones looking at your Photo Library.

For some time, Apple allowed users to hide photos from their photo library. But the hidden photos were part of a ‘hidden’ album that was still visible in the Albums section of the Photo app. That experience was updated with the launch of iOS 14 last year.

The iOS 14 version allows you to hide photos on your iPhone without using a third-party application completely. Here is how you can do this.
