While iOS users can hide photos on iPhone and iPad, the hidden photo album is still visible in the Photos app. This ruins the key purpose of hiding private media as anyone familiar with an iOS device can easily access your hidden photos. Thankfully, iOS 14 (public beta 5) overcomes this limitation with a new setting to hide hidden album on iPhone and iPad.

See how you can hide the hidden photos in case you earlier changed the setting to view them.

TL;DR – NO

The ability to hide hidden albums on iOS was one of the most-requested features. That said, users who want a password protected album in the Photos app will be left disappointed.

That’s because iOS users still cannot lock the hidden photos with a password. This means anyone wary with iOS can still easily access your hidden album by toggling this new setting. You can call this a half baked implementation of such a simple feature. Similar to the Notes app, Apple should have instead added Face ID or Touch ID protection to access the hidden directory.

Though it’s worth noting that this particular feature is a part of iOS 14 beta which can be revised or even removed in future updates.
