How to hide images in iOS 13
Apple occasionally offers updates to iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS as closed developer previews or public betas for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac (sadly, no public beta for the Apple Watch). While the betas contain new features, they also contain pre-release bugs that can prevent the normal use of your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, or Mac, and are not intended for everyday use on a primary device. That's why we strongly recommend staying away from developer previews unless you need them for software development, and using the public betas with caution. If you depend on your devices, wait for the final release.
- Launch Photos on your iPhone or iPad.
- In either the Days, All Photos, or standard Albums view, tap on the Select button.
- Tap on the photos that you want to hide.
- Optionally, you can also just view individual photos and hide one-by-one instead of a batch.
- Tap the Share button.
- Scroll down in the Share Sheet.
- Tap on Hide.
- Confirm that you want to hide the photos, or tap Cancel if you change your mind.
