The process of revealing images and videos intentionally concealed within the iOS 18 Photos application involves accessing a specific album designed for this purpose. This feature allows users to remove sensitive or personal media from the main library view while still retaining them on the device. Accessing this hidden album requires navigating through the Photos app settings.
This functionality provides a level of privacy control, preventing casual browsing from revealing potentially private content. Historically, users relied on third-party applications or complex file management techniques to achieve similar results. The integrated hidden album simplifies the process and enhances the user experience by providing a secure and readily accessible location for sensitive media.
