您经常面临在Apple iPhone 上曝光照片和视频的风险。偶然发现其他人周围的敏感内容或意外在联系人之间分享太容易了。如果其他人可以访问您的 iOS 设备,您的隐私也会受到威胁。
值得庆幸的是,您可以通过在 iPhone 上隐藏敏感照片和视频来阻止这种情况。使用照片(Photos)应用程序或以下任何替代方法来完成工作。本教程中的说明也适用于 iPod touch 和 iPad。
1.添加照片到隐藏相册
在 iPhone 上隐藏照片和视频的最快方法是将它们移动到“照片(Photos)”应用程序中的“隐藏”相册(您也可以将其隐藏)。但是,这可能不是一个实用的解决方案,因为您无法使用密码锁定相册。
在 iPhone 上隐藏照片(Hide a Photo on iPhone)
要在“照片”应用中隐藏照片:
1. 打开照片(Photos)应用程序并点击要隐藏的图像。
2. 点击屏幕左下角的分享(顶部带箭头的方框图标)。(Share)
3.向下滚动(Scroll)共享表(Share Sheet)并点击隐藏(Hide)。
在 iPhone 上隐藏多张照片(Hide Multiple Photos on iPhone)
您可以通过进入选择模式更快地隐藏多张照片。要做到这一点:
1.在查看任何相册、相机胶卷或照片库的内容时,点击照片(Photos)应用右上角的选择按钮。(Select)
2.标记(Mark)您要隐藏的照片。
3. 点击分享(Share)图标。
4. 向下滚动并点击隐藏(Hide)。
访问隐藏的相册(Access the Hidden Photo Album)
隐藏(Hidden)的照片将不再出现在您的相册、相机胶卷和照片库中。如果您想查看它们,您必须在 iPhone 上打开“隐藏(Hidden)”相册。要做到这一点:
1. 切换到照片中的相册(Album)选项卡。
2. 向下滚动到实用程序(Utilities)部分。
3. 点击隐藏(Hidden)。
如果您使用 iCloud 照片(use iCloud Photos),上述更改也将在Apple设备之间同步。您可以通过重复上述步骤在您拥有的任何其他 iPhone 或 iPad 上访问隐藏的照片。在Mac上,选择照片(Photos)侧边栏上的隐藏(Hidden)文件夹。
隐藏隐藏的相册(Hide the Hidden Album)
也可以隐藏 iPhone 上的“隐藏”专辑。要做到这一点:
1. 打开 iPhone 上的设置(Settings)应用程序。
2. 向下滚动并点击照片(Photos)。
3. 关闭显示隐藏相册(Show Hidden Album)旁边的开关。
如果要取消隐藏“隐藏”相册,请重新访问上述屏幕并打开显示隐藏相册(Show Hidden Album)旁边的开关。
取消隐藏隐藏相册上的照片(Unhide Photos on Hidden Album)
如果您想取消隐藏“隐藏”相册中的照片:
1. 打开隐藏(Hidden)相册。
2. 点击选择(Select)按钮并标记您要取消隐藏的一张或多张照片。
3. 点击分享(Share)按钮。
4. 向下滚动并点击取消隐藏(Unhide)。
2.在笔记中隐藏照片
以下方法涉及在 iPhone 上的Notes应用程序中隐藏照片。它不像以前的方法那样方便,但比较安全,因为您可以将笔记锁定在密码后面(lock notes behind a password)。

首先将您的私人照片从照片(Photos)应用程序导出到备忘录(Notes)。要做到这一点:
1. 打开照片(Photos)并选择要隐藏的一张或多张照片。
2. 点击分享(Share)。
3. 点击笔记(Notes)。
4. 在iCloud(iCloud)或On My iPhone位置创建新笔记或选择任何现有笔记。
5. 点击保存(Save)。
锁定笔记中的笔记(Lock the Note in Notes)
接下来,您必须锁定笔记。这涉及第一次为 iCloud 或 On My iPhone 帐户创建密码。
1. 打开笔记(Notes)应用程序。
2. 点击包含照片的笔记。
3. 点击屏幕右上角的菜单(Menu)图标(三个点)。
4. 点击锁定(Lock)。
5. 创建密码,通过Face ID或Touch ID(可选)激活解锁,然后点击完成(Done)。在您想要锁定的任何后续笔记中都不会遇到此步骤。
从照片中删除图像(Remove Images From Photos)
不要忘记从照片(Photos)应用程序中删除图像。要做到这一点:
1. 打开照片(Photos)。
2. 选择要删除的图像。
3. 点击屏幕右下角的垃圾桶图标,然后选择(Trash)删除(Delete)。
将注释保存到照片(Save Notes to Photos)
如果您想稍后将 Notes 应用程序中的图像保存到照片(Photos),您必须:

2. 长按笔记中的一张照片,然后点击分享(Share)。
3. 点击保存图像(Save Image)。
4. 对要保存到照片(Photos)的任何其他图像重复此操作。
3.在文件应用程序中隐藏照片
iPhone 上的(Files app on your iPhone)“文件”应用程序提供了另一种隐藏图片和视频的方法,让您可以方便地将它们存放在 iCloud 和 On My iPhone 目录中的隐蔽位置。但是,您不能像在Notes中那样使用密码保护。
隐藏文件中的照片(Hide Photos in Files)
1. 打开照片(Photos)并选择要隐藏的照片。
2. 点击分享(Share)。
3. 向下滚动并点击保存到文件(Save to Files)。
4. 选择一个位置或创建一个新文件夹,然后点击保存(Save)。

1. 打开文件(Files)应用程序并导航到照片的位置。
2. 选择一张或多张照片,然后点击分享(Share)。
3. 点击保存图像(Save Image)/图像(Images)。
4.隐藏照片应用
从 iPhone 的主屏幕(Home Screen)中删除照片(Photos)应用程序可以最大限度地减少有人未经许可查看您的照片的机会。您可能还希望通过删除照片(Photos)小部件并阻止图像出现在搜索结果中来构建它。
从主屏幕删除照片应用程序(Remove Photos App From Home Screen)
要从主(Home)屏幕中删除照片(Photos)应用程序:
1. 长按照片应用(Photos)程序图标。
2. 点击删除应用程序(Remove App)。
3. 点击从主屏幕移除(Remove from Home Screen)。

删除照片应用小部件(Remove Photos App Widget)
如果您的 iPhone主屏幕(Home Screen)上有照片(Photos)应用小部件,您可以通过长按并选择移除小部件( Remove Widget)来移除它。但是,如果它是小部件堆栈的一部分:
1. 长按小部件堆栈并点击编辑小部件(Edit Widget)。
2. 找到照片(Photos)小部件并点击删除(Delete)图标。
3. 点击删除(Remove)。
在搜索结果中隐藏照片(Hide Photos in Search Results)
要阻止照片(Photos)应用程序和您的图像出现在搜索结果中:
1. 打开设置(Settings)。
2. 向下滚动并点击照片(Photos)。
3. 点击Siri 和搜索( Siri & Search)。
4. 禁用Show App in Search(Show App in Search)旁边的开关。
或者,您可以通过禁用“在主屏幕上显示”(Show on Home Screen)、 “建议应用(Suggest App)”和“建议通知(Suggestion Notifications)”开关来关闭基于照片的Siri建议。(Siri)
5.使用第三方照片储物柜
第三方照片储物柜提供了在 iPhone 上轻松隐藏照片的最佳方式。在App Store(App Store)上进行粗略搜索会发现多个提供照片锁定功能的应用程序,但这里有几个首选。
警告(Warning):在向第三方应用程序提供您的照片库权限之前,请务必检查App Store上的隐私标签。(App Store)
Private Photo Vault首先要求您设置专用密码,以便只有您可以访问它。然后,您可以从您的照片库中移动图像和视频,请求应用程序尽快删除原件,并将隐藏的项目整理到单独的相册中。
Private Photo Vault还提供了一个内置摄像头,可让您直接拍摄并将内容保存到应用程序本身,帮助您避免移动它们的麻烦。它甚至具有内置浏览器,可以自动隐藏您下载的任何照片。如果您愿意每月支付 6.99 美元或每年 39.99 美元,您可以使用内置的Cloud Vault功能跨设备同步图像。
Secret Photo Vault的工作原理与 Private Photo Vault类似,允许您添加、组织和锁定照片,并使用安全密码。它还有一个内置摄像头,可以直接拍摄并将内容隐藏到应用程序中,尽管它没有私人网络浏览器。
您可以以每月 9.99 美元或每年 23.99 美元的价格订阅Secret Photo Vault,以删除广告并解锁其他功能,例如基于云的备份和跨设备同步。
保持私密
直接在 iPhone 的照片(Photos)应用程序中隐藏照片既快捷又简单。但是,如果您觉得它不够用,您可能需要深入研究上述其他方法或考虑投资第三方照片储物柜以保护您的隐私。此外,了解您可以采取哪些措施来阻止人们访问(stop people from accessing the contents in other apps)您 iPhone 上其他应用程序中的内容。
5 Ways to Hide Photos on iPhone
You’re constantly at risk of exposing photos and videos on an Apple iPhone. It’s just too easy to stumble across something sensitive around other people or share it among contacts by accident. Yoυr privacy is also at stake if someone else has access to yоur iOS device.
Thankfully, you can put a stop to that by hiding sensitive photos and videos on your iPhone. Use the Photos app or any alternative methods below to get the job done. The instructions in this tutorial also apply to the iPod touch and iPad.
1. Add Photos to Hidden Album
The fastest way to hide photos and videos on the iPhone is to move them to the “Hidden” album—which you can also hide—in the Photos app. However, it might not be a practical solution since you can’t lock the album with a password.
Hide a Photo on iPhone
To hide a photo in the Photos app:
1. Open the Photos app and tap the image you want to hide.
2. Tap Share (the box-shaped icon with an arrow coming out from the top) at the bottom left corner of the screen.
3. Scroll down the Share Sheet and tap Hide.
Hide Multiple Photos on iPhone
You can hide multiple photos faster by entering selection mode. To do that:
1. Tap the Select button at the top right corner of the Photos app while viewing the contents of any album, the camera roll, or your photo library.
2. Mark the photos you want to hide.
3. Tap the Share icon.
4. Scroll down and tap Hide.
Access the Hidden Photo Album
Hidden photos will no longer appear within your albums, camera roll, and photo library. If you want to view them, you must open the “Hidden” album on your iPhone. To get to it:
1. Switch to the Album tab in Photos.
2. Scroll down to the Utilities section.
3. Tap Hidden.
If you use iCloud Photos, the changes above will also sync across Apple devices. You can access the hidden photos on any other iPhone or iPad you own by repeating the above steps. On a Mac, select the Hidden folder on the Photos sidebar instead.
Hide the Hidden Album
It’s also possible to hide the “Hidden” album on your iPhone. To do that:
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap Photos.
3. Turn off the switch next to Show Hidden Album.
If you want to unhide the “Hidden” album, revisit the above screen and turn on the switch next to Show Hidden Album.
Unhide Photos on Hidden Album
If you want to unhide photos within the “Hidden” album:
1. Open the Hidden album.
2. Tap the Select button and mark the photo or photos you want to unhide.
3. Tap the Share button.
4. Scroll down and tap Unhide.
2. Hide Photos in Notes
The following method involves hiding photos within the Notes app on your iPhone. It’s not as convenient as the previous method but comparably safer since you can lock notes behind a password.
Export Photos to Notes App
Start by exporting your private photos from the Photos app to Notes. To do that:
1. Open Photos and select the photo or photos you want to hide.
2. Tap Share.
3. Tap Notes.
4. Create a new note or select any of your existing notes within the iCloud or On My iPhone locations.
5. Tap Save.
Lock the Note in Notes
You must next lock the note. That involves creating a password for the iCloud or On My iPhone accounts the first time.
1. Open the Notes app.
2. Tap the note containing the photos.
3. Tap the Menu icon (three dots) at the top right of the screen.
4. Tap Lock.
5. Create a password, activate unlocking via Face ID or Touch ID (optional), and tap Done. You will not encounter this step in any subsequent notes you want to lock.
Remove Images From Photos
Don’t forget to remove the images from the Photos app. To do that:
1. Open Photos.
2. Select the image or images you want to remove.
3. Tap the Trash icon at the bottom right corner of the screen and select Delete.
Save Notes to Photos
If you want to save the images from the Notes app to Photos later, you must:
1. Open the note containing the photos.
2. Long-press a photo in the note and tap Share.
3. Tap Save Image.
4. Repeat for any other images you want to save to Photos.
3. Hide Photos in Files App
The Files app on your iPhone offers another way to hide pictures and videos by letting you conveniently stash them in obscure locations within the iCloud and On My iPhone directories. You can’t use password protection like in Notes, though.
Hide Photos in Files
1. Open Photos and select the photos you want to hide.
2. Tap Share.
3. Scroll down and tap Save to Files.
4. Select a location or create a new folder and tap Save.
5. Delete the photos from the Photos app.
Save Images Back to Photos App
If you want to save your photos back to the camera roll on the Photos app:
1. Open the Files app and navigate to the location of the photos.
2. Select the photo or photos and tap Share.
3. Tap Save Image/Images.
4. Hide the Photos App
Removing the Photos app from the iPhone’s Home Screen can minimize the chances of someone viewing your photos without permission. You may also want to build on that by removing Photos widgets and preventing images from showing up in search results.
Remove Photos App From Home Screen
To remove the Photos app from the Home Screen:
1. Long-press the Photos app icon.
2. Tap Remove App.
3. Tap Remove from Home Screen.
If you want to access the Photos app, open the App Library, expand the Photos & Video category, and tap Photos. To add Photos back to the Home Screen, long-press the Photos icon and tap Add to Home Screen.
Remove Photos App Widget
If you have a Photos app widget on your iPhone’s Home Screen, you can remove it by long-pressing and selecting Remove Widget. However, if it’s part of a widget stack:
1. Long-press the widget stack and tap Edit Widget.
2. Locate the Photos widget and tap the Delete icon.
3. Tap Remove.
Hide Photos in Search Results
To stop the Photos app and your images from showing up in search results:
1. Open Settings.
2. Scroll down and tap Photos.
3. Tap Siri & Search.
4. Disable the switch next to Show App in Search.
Optionally, you can turn off photo-based Siri recommendations by disabling the Show on Home Screen, Suggest App, and Suggestion Notifications switches.
5. Use a Third-Party Photo Locker
Third-party photo lockers offer the best way to hide photos on the iPhone with less hassle. Performing a cursory search on the App Store will reveal multiple apps offering photo locking capabilities, but here are a couple of top picks.
Warning: Always check the privacy labels on the App Store before providing third-party apps with permissions to your photo library.
Private Photo Vault starts by requiring you to set up a dedicated passcode so that only you can access it. You can then move images and videos from your photo library, request the app to delete the originals soon after, and organize the hidden items into separate albums.
Private Photo Vault also provides a built-in camera that lets you shoot and save stuff directly to the app itself, helping you avoid the trouble of moving them. It even features a built-in browser that automatically hides any photos you download. If you’re willing to shell out $6.99/month or $39.99/year, you can sync your images across devices using the built-in Cloud Vault feature.
Secret Photo Vault works similar to Private Photo Vault, allowing you to add, organize, and lock photos behind a secure passcode. It also has a built-in camera to shoot and hide stuff directly into the app, although it lacks a private web browser.
You can subscribe to Secret Photo Vault at $9.99/month or $23.99/year to remove advertisements and unlock additional features such as cloud-based backups and cross-device syncing.
Stay Private
Hiding photos directly within your iPhone’s Photos app is quick and easy. But if you feel it’s inadequate, you might want to dig into the other methods above or consider investing in a third-party photo locker to protect your privacy. Additionally, learn what you can do to stop people from accessing the contents in other apps on your iPhone.
