How to Hide Photos on Android


Just like most of the people, if you have your personal pictures on your phone that are not too gloomy that you could show it to others, you can hide them from the World. There are a lot many options to hide photos on your Android device which shall be discussed below.
But before that, different devices have different options. Some have in-built features to hide your personal pictures, while others require a third-party application. The devices which have the in-built hiding options are still not safe as anyone can easily access them while third-party applications are the best for this purpose.
Applications like Photovault can keep your privacy at its best.
Hiding Photos with Photo Vault on Android
Photo Vault enables your privacy as it asks you to set a passcode via which only you can access the media inside.
Below mentioned are the steps to work with this application:
  1. Download the ‘Photo Vault’ app from the Google Play Store.
  2. Once the downloading is done, it’ll ask you to put your E-mail and Password. Once you’ve set it up, enter a passcode to lock the application.
  3. Whenever you open the app, you’ll have to enter the passcode set by you. You can add photos or videos inside the app. All you need to do is click the ‘+’ button and select the media from the gallery.
  4. You can also create different folders for your pictures.
Some people still won’t be satisfied with this single layer protection. There are other additional features as well to provide you multi-layered protection and hide photos in your Android device.

  1. Creating a Fake Pin
In any case, someone is trying to disturb your privacy i.e. if anyone tries to access your vault asking about your pin-code, you’re still safe. Creating a fake pin will be the smart move!
Creating a fake pin will lead you to a secondary Photo Vault that you can set up if anyone tries to invade.
  • Break-in Alerts
Here is another option if someone is trying to get into your privacy behind your back. Suppose, you’re with a group of friends and someone tries to access your Vault without you knowing about it, Break-in alert will snapshot a picture of the screen each time an incorrect password is entered.
With the help of this feature, you’ll know exactly who is trying to get through it in your absence.
There are additional safety features which come in premium packages and are paid. If you want to be super sure about your security, you may buy any of the plans.
