You can enhance the security of your most sensitive photos or albums by hiding them. Hidden photos or albums will only be accessible after an additional layer of authentication within the app. Hiding is different from Archiving in that hidden photos will not appear anywhere in the app without explicit authentication, whereas archiving only removes them from the home timeline and memories sections.
- Hidden photos and albums will be removed from home timelines, memories, albums tab, search results, and any other visible place in the app.
- Hidden photos will be removed from all regular albums. To unhide them, you will need to specify the album to move them back to.
- You cannot hide photos or albums that have been shared with you. However, you can archive shared albums.
