The new iOS 13 for iPhone and iPadOS for iPad brings in a host of new and interesting features. Those who have already updated might have noticed a dark mode, improved Photos app, better privacy controls, and a lot more. In iOS 13, there is a radical change in how things work including the way to update and delete apps.

Perhaps, if you’re coming to iOS 13 from iOS 12 or earlier then it may take longer than usual to locate certain features and settings. Hiding a photo and changing album cover photo is one of them.

While the ability to hide photos exists since earlier versions of iOS, the interface has been slightly changed in iOS 13. As you may know, you can easily hide photos on the iPhone and iPad using the built-in Photos app. This also eliminates the need to use any third-party apps to get the task done.

Having said that, the in-built function isn’t the best and secure way to hide photos as the hidden contents reside in the camera roll itself. Hence, anyone familiar with an iOS device will still be able to access them without much difficulty.

To do so, long-press on the particular photo while you are inside an album or All Photos. The photo will pop-up and a context menu will appear alongside it. Tap on “Share”, scroll down and tap “Hide”. Now confirm your selection to hide an individual photo.
