iPhone users have a lot of photos to capture and store. But what if you want to keep some of your favorite photos hidden from view? There are a few ways to do this on the iPhone, but it can be difficult to find the right method. Here are three tips to help you find hidden photos on your iPhone:
- Look for Photos app features that allow you to hide photos. For example, Photos can hide photos by location, time of day, or even by specific people or objects.
- Use photo search tools in other apps such as Google Photos or iCloud Photo Library. These tools will help you find all of the photos in a specific location or time period.
- Use Apple’s built-in photo search feature in the Photos app itself. This feature allows you to type in a keyword and it will search through all of the photos in that category for matches.
Did you hide some photos on your iPhone but you are now not sure where those photos are? It’s easy to see those hidden photos on an iPhone, and we’ll show you how.

See Hidden Photos on iPhone
To view your hidden photos, first, launch the Photos app on your iPhone.
At the bottom of the Photos app, tap “Albums.”
Scroll down to the bottom of the albums list and tap the “Hidden” album in the Utilities section.
(On older versions of iOS, the “Hidden” album is located under Other Albums rather than Utilities.)
The “Hidden” album screen shows all your hidden photos and videos.
To unhide a photo or video, tap that item on the list. When the item opens in full-screen, tap the three-dot icon in the top-right corner, then tap “Unhide” in the drop-down menu.
And your selected photo or video is now visible to everyone in Photos.
If you’re not finding the photos you were looking for, consider trying to recover deleted photos on your iPhone or iPad.
Enable the “Hidden” Photo Album on iPhone
Starting in iOS 14, you can turn off the “Hidden” album in the Photos app. To re-enable that album, you will have to change an option in your iPhone’s settings.
To do so, open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap “Photos.” Then, enable the “Show Hidden Album” option. Your album is now visible in the Photos app, and you can access your hidden photos.
And that’s how you go about finding photos and videos that you previously hid on your iPhone. Enjoy!
