If you have an iPhone, you do not need to resort to third-party applications to hide those photos or videos that you want to keep private. You can with a few simple steps, hide them from appearing in any album, home screen widget or library.
So if someone takes your iPhone, they won’t be able to see that content you want to keep private, even if they take a look around the Library, since the photos and videos will be in the Hidden album. However, that does not mean that this album is impossible to find inside your mobile.
If someone intends to view this content, they can find it simply by following the instructions in the Apple Support Center. So that this does not happen, and your hidden photos and videos are protected, Apple has implemented a new dynamic with iOS 16.
How to protect the photos and videos you want to keep hidden on iPhone
Starting with iOS 16, you’ll find that hidden albums will be locked by default. So just creating them will trigger an automatic lock. And to unlock it you will have to use Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode.
This way, no one will be able to see the content you hid without authorization. And on the other hand, you will not have to take any extra action to have this extra protection, since it will be activated automatically. A dynamic proof of distractions.
This is just one of the security features that Apple is adding with the release of iOS 16. In the presentation, Safety Check was also mentioned, a function that allows you to revoke permissions to share information, such as apps, passwords, location.
From a new section, they will be able to see who has access to this information and revoke access to shared information. A feature that seeks to protect users who are in an abusive relationship.
