How to hide videos on iPhone (2026)
The Hidden album only hides videos from casual browsing. For private clips, import into an encrypted vault, verify playback, then delete originals from Photos and Recently Deleted.
Hidden album for video
Works the same as photos: Share → Hide. Anyone with your device passcode can still open Hidden. Large videos still sync with iCloud Photos if that is on.
Encrypted vault steps
- Create a Blopman safe.
- Import the video from Photos or Files.
- Play it inside Blopman to confirm quality.
- Delete the Photos copy and empty Recently Deleted.
What to check in any video vault
- Does import re-compress?
- Is there a real cipher or only a PIN UI?
- Where do leftovers stay (Recents, iCloud, Shared Library)?
FAQ
Do hidden videos leave Photos?
No. Hidden stays inside Photos/iCloud Photos. A vault moves content out of the camera roll after cleanup.
