Browse all iPhone guidesThe Hidden album uses device authentication. For a separate secret, Octoshield lets you choose a PIN, passphrase, pattern, or dial and store encrypted copies outside Photos. Manage original copies separately.
Left queues a photo for deletion, right keeps it in Photos, and up creates an encrypted vault copy and queues the original for removal. Review and confirm before deleting.
Octoshield stores encrypted files locally, so importing creates another on-device copy and does not guarantee more space. Review unwanted photos with Cleaner, or check iCloud Photos optimization if you want to retain your library.
The current vault stores encrypted files on your iPhone and does not upload them to an Octoshield server. iOS Photos may download iCloud originals during import or review.
There is no recovery service and the vault is excluded from backups. Losing your secret, deleting the app, or losing the device can mean losing files. Export essential files before changing devices.
