Why Lock Photos on an iPhone?
The Hidden album also fails to protect your hidden images in other ways.
When this feature is turned on, it locks your Hidden album behind either Face ID or Touch ID.
If someone tries to enter the Hidden album without your permission, they are greeted with a blank folder.
This feature also locks down your recently deleted images in the same way.
This does not delete the photos, only the album.
The photos remain in the All Photos album.
Choose an existing album or tapNew Album.
Turn on iPhone Shared Albumsto create albums that you share with other people.
