How to hide photos on iPhones and iPads

The Recents folder in iPhone’s Photos app houses all the images and videos that you have clicked using your iPhone or downloaded from various apps such as messaging apps and social media apps on your iPhone. All of these photos and videos are visible to everyone who can access your iPhone’s camera app. But there are times when you don’t want people to see specific images that you have stored in the Photos app. Be it a surprise birthday gift that you have planned for your partner or a photo that you want to surprise your kids with or weird and wacky moments that you have cherished in the past but don’t want others to see – there are moments that you don’t want to share with anyone.

To make all such images and videos stay clear of prying eyes, the Photos app has an option that enables users to hide and unhide images and video from the public eye.
