3. Hide private photos

How private someone’s phone is to them; they will still give it to their friends. Sometimes we have a really private picture that we don’t want anyone to see. This feature is very helpful for those people. The picture won’t be visible in Collections, Moments, and Year views. But it will still be opened through the albums screen inside Hidden folder. How to do it? Go inside Photos > select the images > tap Share button > choose Hide or you can just tap and hold on the image > choose Hide > choose Hide Photo.

To activate this feature, go to Settings > tap General and Accessibility > then switch the LED Flash for Alerts On.
