Are you uncertain about the whereabouts of the photos you hid on your iPhone? Discovering hidden photos on an iPhone is a simple process, and we will guide you through it.

Please exercise caution and respect the privacy of others while utilizing this knowledge, as individuals may have their own valid reasons for concealing photos on their iPhones.

How to See Hidden Photos on iPhone

To find 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.)

If you do not see the "Hidden" album option, the album itself might be hidden. To enable it, follow the steps in the section below.

The "Hidden" album screen shows all your hidden photos and videos.

To reveal a photo or video, simply tap the corresponding item on the list. Once the item is displayed in full-screen mode, click on the three-dot icon located in the upper-right corner, and then select the "Unhide" option from 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 accomplish this, simply access the Photos feature within the Settings app on your iPhone. From there, select the "Photos" option, followed by enabling the "Show Hidden Album" toggle. Once completed, your album will become visible within the Photos app, granting you access to your concealed photos.

And that's how you go about finding photos and videos that you previously hid on your iPhone. Enjoy!
