photos and videos from appearing normally in your library, learn how to hide
photos using the Hidden option in the Photos app. iPhone. This will hide the

2. How to Hide Photos in Notes App
Apple also
includes the Notes app, and one of its distinct features is the ability to lock
individual notes. This means you can add media to your note and then add a
password. You can also require Face or Touch ID to unlock password-protected
notes.
Also, if you
lock a photo or video in a note, it is removable from your main photo
library.
2.1 First Send
your photo or video to Notes.
Follow below mentioned steps:
1. Find the image or video you want to hide in your note. (You can select multiple files as well.
2.Tap the share icon in the bottom left corner.
3.Scroll through the list of apps and tap Notes. (If you don't see it, tap More and select Notes from the list of apps that appear.)
4.Select the note in which you want to save the attachment (it will default to 'New Note') and enter a text description in the field below.
2.2 Then follow the steps below to lock the
created note.
1. Open the Notes
app and find the note you created (it should be at the top of the list).
2. Swipe left on the
note title to reveal a lock icon.
3. Lock the note by tapping the lock icon. If you've never locked your notes before, you'll be prompted to create a password and enable Face or Touch ID. This password will be used for all locked notes, so make sure you remember it or save it in your password manager.
4. From now on, to
lock or unlock a note, tap it and authorize access using your password, facial
recognition, or fingerprint.
Note 3: This method too has limitations. For
example, you can't share a photo attachment for an existing locked note, even
if you manually unlocked it beforehand. This makes it difficult to use one note
for all hidden content.
However, you
can create folders (such as "private" or "hidden") within
the Notes app and place your private notes there. While not ideal, this
method provides more security than Apple's insecure "hidden" albums.
Note 4: If you are using this method, don't
forget to go back to your photo or video library and delete all the photos that
you have hidden in the note.
3. Using secure notes with any Password Manager
Some
applications, such as password managers, are designed with security in mind.
Makes it easy to use unique credentials on the web by remembering a single
master password. Most password managers also store more than passwords.
This
includes, but is not limited to, banking information, scanned copies of
important documents, birth certificates, and even photos and videos. This
method is similar to storing private media in Notes, except using a third party
app or service.
Any password
manager that lets you add attachments to your notes should do the job. However,
that storage may vary depending on the video content, depending on the amount of
space required. As for the password manager to use, use may use these Apps such
as but not limited to these only Dashlane, LastPass, Bitwarden or 1Password,
or use whatever you like.
Note 5: Be aware that many password managers sync over the web, so hidden content is uploaded to the internet. Of course, it's protected with a master password. A master password is more secure than syncing with iCloud Photos or other online photo services.
You can also
use a dedicated Files app for things you want to keep private, like hide photos
on your iPhone. These apps are specially designed with your privacy in mind. It
offers a simple password or password lock and an area where you can store your
files. Open the app, unlock it with your password or passcode, and you can
access all the media stored there. Simple!
Folder Lock,
Private Photo Vault, Keepsafe, Secret Apps Photo Lock are just a few of the
many file locking apps available on the AppStore. Choose what you trust. Make
sure it has a decent rating and doesn't block many features behind in-app
purchases.
Note 6: Again, even if you use this method, keep in mind that you'll still need to delete the media you want to hide from the Photos app's main library after saving it to the Files app.

5. Deleting from your phone
& Storing Elsewhere
Instead of locking your private photos and videos on your device, consider storing them elsewhere. They may be more secure on your home computer than your phone. Therefore, if you leave your mobile phone unattended, you will not be able to find it easily.
1. The easiest way to do this is to move them off your device. If you have a Mac, you can do this wirelessly via AirDrop.
Find the photos you want to move, tap Share, select "AirDrop" and then select your Mac to start the transfer.
2. You can also connect your iPhone or iPad to your Mac or Windows computer. Select "Trust" to authorize the device and import your pictures as you would with a digital camera.
MacOS Photos automatically prepares your media for import when you connect your iPhone.
If you have a Windows 10 computer, use the equivalent Photos app to do the same.
Older versions of Windows charge your iPhone as a simple removable drive, so importing your photos is easy.
Note 7: If you don't want to go through the trouble of importing manually, you can use Google Photos or Dropbox
