Hidden Albums in iOS 16: What is new over vs iOS 15?The option to Hide pictures and videos on an iPhone has existed for a while now but iOS 16 makes it a little more secure. To explain, previous versions of iOS allowed users to move their photos from their main library onto a Hidden album. This Hidden album was, however, just a tap away from revealing your sensitive pictures and anyone who had physical access to your unlocked iPhone could view your hidden pictures with ease. Another factor that made your hidden photos less secure was that any third-party app that had an image picker would continue to show your hidden pictures even though they were hidden in the Photos app. On iOS 16, Apple has made the Hidden album on the Photos app more secure by locking it with your Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. This means, opening the Hidden album would require you to authenticate using your face or fingerprint so no one other than you can access the pictures you send to this album. This also makes sure that no third-party app can now view your sensitive pictures through its image picker without your access.
