How To Hide Pictures On Iphone 10

(Pocket-lint) - There are plenty of features within iOS software, from closing down all your Safari tabs at once, to using the Apple logo on the back a shortcut button.

Embedded within the Photos app on iPhone is the ability to hide a photo. There are multiple reasons why you might want to hide a photo from your library - maybe it's a photo of a present you don't want your other half to see by accident, or maybe you have some fitness photos you'd rather were for your eyes only, for example.

We won't ask why you might like to hide a photo from your library, we will just tell you how to do it, and while we are at it, we will tell you how to hide the hidden photos album too.
