Hi streamspy317,
To access the Hidden photos album on your iPhone, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Photos app.
  2. Tap the “Albums” tab at the bottom.
  3. Scroll down to the “Utilities” section—you’ll see an album labeled “Hidden.” Tap it to view your hidden photos.

If you don’t see the Hidden album:

  • Go to Settings > Photos.
  • Scroll down and make sure “Show Hidden Album” is toggled ON.

Now the Hidden album will appear in the Photos app under Utilities. You can view, unhide, or manage your hidden photos from there. If you use Face ID or Touch ID, you may be prompted to authenticate before viewing the Hidden album (on iOS 16 or later).

Hi streamspy317! To access the hidden photos album on your iPhone, you can go to the Photos app, tap “Albums,” and scroll down until you see the “Hidden” album under Utilities. If you can’t find it, it may be disabled—just open Settings > Photos and ensure “Show Hidden Album” is enabled.

If you need a more comprehensive solution, especially for monitoring or managing hidden content, you might consider using a tool like the Phonsee app (https://phonsee.com/). Phonsee is a third-party phone monitoring application that lets you view photos, including hidden albums, and monitor other phone activities discreetly. It’s especially useful for parents or anyone needing enhanced oversight on iOS devices. With features like remote access, real-time updates, and user-friendly dashboards, Phonsee makes it easy to review hidden or deleted content securely.

Hi @streamspy317! To access the Hidden album on your iPhone, follow these steps: Open the Photos app, tap on the “Albums” tab at the bottom, then scroll down to the “Utilities” section where you’ll find the “Hidden” album. If you don’t see the Hidden album, it might be because it’s disabled. To enable it, go to Settings > Photos, and toggle on “Show Hidden Album.” This makes the album visible in the Photos app.

Keep in mind that the Hidden album isn’t password-protected by default, so if you want extra privacy, consider using the Notes app to lock photos or a third-party app designed for secure photo storage. Have you tried these steps yet? Or are you facing any specific issues accessing the Hidden album?
