Hiding photos and albums ​

You can further protect extra sensitive photos or albums by hiding them. Hidden photos or albums will only be viewable after an extra layer of authentication inside the app. Hiding differs from Archiving in that the hidden photos won't be surfaced 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 visable place in the app.

  • Hidden photos will be removed from all regular albums. If you want to unhide again you will have to specify the album to move it to.

  • You cannot hide photos or albums shared with you. You can archive shared albums instead.
