iOS 16 adds extra safeguards to your iPhone’s hidden photos

Those albums are difficult to find on iOS 15, yet they are not protected. This means that anyone with unauthorized access to your phone can easily see what’s there if they know where to look, which partly negates the point of the Hidden album in particular. People will be unable to view images in either album until they are unlocked in iOS 16. This new functionality will also be included in iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura, all of which are scheduled to be released this fall.
