How to hide photos and videos in phone?

 To hide photos and videos on your phone, the method depends on whether you're using an iPhone or an Android device. Here are concise steps for both:

For iPhone (iOS):

1. Use the Photos App:

   - Open the Photos app.

   - Select the photo(s) or video(s) you want to hide.

   - Tap the Share icon (bottom-left) and choose "Hide."

   - Confirm to move them to the Hidden album.

   - The Hidden album is located under "Utilities" in the         Albums tab.

2. Disable Hidden Album Visibility (Optional):

   - Go to Settings > Photos.

   - Turn off "Show Hidden Album" to make it invisible          in the Photos app.

3. Add Passcode Protection:

   - The Hidden album is protected by Face ID, Touch ID,       or your passcode by default.

   - Ensure your phone is locked to prevent                       unauthorized access.

4. Alternative: Use Notes App for Extra Security:

   - Share a photo to the Notes app, create a note, and             lock it (Settings > Notes > Password).

   - Delete the original photo from the Photos app.


 For Android:

1. Use the Gallery/Media App:

   - Open the Gallery or Photos app.

   - Select the photos/videos to hide.

   - Look for a "Move to Secure Folder" or "Hide" option     (varies by device, e.g., Samsung has Secure Folder).

   - If no native option, create a ".nomedia" folder (see     below).

2.Use a File Manager:

   - Open a file manager app (e.g., Google Files or built-in       manager).

   - Move photos/videos to a new folder (e.g., “Private”).

   - Rename the folder with a dot prefix (e.g., “.Private”)     to hide it from gallery apps.

   - Optionally, add a ".nomedia" file in the folder to prevent media scanning.

3. Secure Folder (Samsung Devices):

   - Enable Secure Folder in Settings > Security and Privacy.

   - Move photos/videos to Secure Folder (protected by PIN or biometrics).

4. Third-Party Apps:

   - Download apps like KeepSafe, LockMyPix, or Google Photos’ Locked Folder.

   - Follow app instructions to move and lock photos/videos.


For Both:

- Google Photos Locked Folder:

  - Open Google Photos, go to Library > Utilities > Set up Locked Folder.

  - Move photos/videos to this folder (accessible only with device passcode).

- Use Cloud Storage with Encryption:

  - Upload to encrypted cloud services (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) and delete from the phone.

- Password-Protected Apps:

  - Use apps like Private Photo Vault or Folder Lock for additional security.


Note:

 Always back up important files before hiding or moving them. If your device lacks built-in features, third-party apps are a reliable option. Ensure your phone’s passcode or biometric security is active to protect hidden content.

Ads frequently highlight life-changing wins—such as crores of rupees—creating an impression that big payouts are common. In reality, the odds of winning large prizes are slim due to high competition, wit...
