The ability to conceal images on Apple’s mobile operating system refers to a native function that allows users to remove selected pictures from the main Photos library view. This feature moves the images to a dedicated “Hidden” album, making them less immediately visible to casual browsing.
This capability offers a basic level of privacy, allowing individuals to curate their photo collection and manage sensitive or personal content. Historically, users relied on third-party applications to achieve similar functionality. The integration of this feature directly into iOS provides a more convenient and readily accessible solution for privacy management.
