How to hide photos from Spotlight search on iPhone
Hidden reduces some surfaces but Spotlight and other system features can still surprise you. For sensitive shots, remove them from Photos into Blopman.
System surfaces
Widgets, Memories, Shared with You, and search can resurface media you forgot.
Practical fix
Vault → delete → empty Recently Deleted. Then audit Siri & Search settings for Photos.
