On the Internet, there are a sufficient number of various programs that can be used to hide photos. Today we suggest you review five of the best and most optimal applications that will allow you to hide personal photos on your electronic device from third-party access.
Yandex.Explorer
This is one of the most common file managers. We are interested in its ability to show hidden files and the ability to change their name. To use this option and hide photos, first set the option to display hidden files in the file Manager settings. After you enable the option to show hidden files, you need to find the folder where the photos you want to hide are located in file Explorer.
You need to make a long press on this folder and mark it with a "tick". After that, go to the "rename" option and put a dot at the beginning, before the first letter of the folder name. This simple manipulation will make this folder and all files in it hidden. The system will no longer "see" this folder and the pictures in it, which means that they will not be displayed in the gallery. After that, you just need to disable the display of hidden files in the Manager again.
Keep Safe
The KeepSafe app is your personal photo safe. The program provides reliable protection of personal media files. To do this, you only need to come up with a reliable access code. You don't need to create separate special folders or directories – you just mark the photo or video files that you want to hide. And they disappear from the public gallery. After that, you will only be able to view images or videos using KeepSafe. This is the easiest way to control your gallery's privacy.
Advantages of the app:
Gallery Lock
The Gallery Lock app is a completely free way to hide your photos and videos in your smartphone's memory. The program allows you to hide media objects that you want to restrict access to from viewing in the shared gallery. To view these images or videos, you will need to enter the password that you created earlier.
The app allows you to create fake storages under different passwords in order to demonstrate a fake personal album under certain circumstances, while keeping the fact that there is another (real) one in the strictest secrecy. To hide the presence of an app on your smartphone, you can change its icon to any image.
Gallery Vault
The Gallery Vault app is the easiest way to hide your photos and private videos. The program features a user-friendly interface and a lot of additional features, including:
Safe Gallery (Media Lock)
A good choice if you decide to protect your confidential photos and videos. The app also allows you to password protect media files downloaded from the Internet. The program's functionality allows you to view and move photos inside a secure gallery. In addition, this app supports viewing animated images inside a secure gallery.
