Locking photos on an iPhone adds an extra layer of security and privacy to your device. With this feature, you can restrict access to sensitive photos and prevent them from being viewed by unauthorized individuals, even if they have physical access to your iPhone.
To lock photos on your iPhone, you can use the built-in “Hidden” album feature. This album allows you to hide photos and videos from the main Photos app, making them accessible only through the Hidden album. To add photos or videos to the Hidden album, simply select them in the Photos app, tap the Share button, and choose the “Hide” option.
