iPhone 11 Pro Why does the hidden album not have a passcode ? Wouldn’t it be not hidden then ?

Anyone can open it up if they borrow your phone. So why doesn’t it not have a passcode ?

Apple doesn't like to facilitate sneakiness. The "Hidden" album has never been hidden; the pictures are simply not visible in other albums.

Maybe you should ask them.

If you really need to secure pictures, get an app like Photo Vault.

That’s a question for Apple.

Good idea, coming soon to iOS 21.

Seriously though good point OP. I use apps that disguise themselves as calculators but they are really file vaults with password protection.

You can put pictures in the notes app and then lock the note.

I've always thought the hidden photos folder should have a form of security on it as well.
