\"How
Apple iPhones let you stash photos in a semi-secret hidden folder (Picture: Shutterstock)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You probably have all sorts of fun, sexy and legally questionable photos you\u2019d rather no-one saw.<\/p>\n

But it would be a shame to let those sinful moments disappear entirely, so you keep them on your iPhone<\/a> anyway \u2013 risking embarrassment whenever you show other pics to friends or family members.<\/p>\n

Luckily, Apple<\/a> has got your back.<\/p>\n

You can hide photos away in a special \u2018hidden\u2019 folder which means they can be perused at any time, but are kept away from the main photo feed.<\/p>\n

All you need to do is select the pictures you want to hide away and press the little menu icon in the bottom left of the screen.<\/p>\n

You can see the \u2018hide\u2019 icon at the bottom of this image (Credit: Metro.co.uk)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that \t\t\t\t\t\tsupports HTML5 video<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll then be presented with two little bars.<\/p>\n

Swipe right on the bottom one and select \u2018hide photos\u2019.<\/p>\n

If you want to find them again, just open the Photos app and press \u2018Albums\u2019 at the bottom right of the menu bar.<\/p>\n

You can then go into the Hidden folder and relive all your x-rated or inexcusable moments.<\/p>\n

If you want to release the pictures from their vault, just open them up, click the options icon and then press \u2018unhide\u2019.<\/p>\n

Be warned: the Hidden folder doesn\u2019t have a password.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s useful if you want to let someone peruse your photos without being troubled by your growing gallery of dick pics, for instance, or whatever other graphic images you\u2019ve been collecting.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll still be able to see your hidden photos because they are stored in a special folder (Credit: Metro.co.uk)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

However, once someone has access to your phone they could simply go to your Hidden album and find out about all those dirty secrets you tried to hide.<\/p>\n

So if you really don\u2019t want someone to see a photo, you\u2019re best off deleting it altogether.<\/p>\n

In fact, if you\u2019re really serious about living life without having to worry about any compromising images suddenly resurfacing, we\u2019ve got a better idea: don\u2019t take any photos of yourself doing anything you wouldn\u2019t want your mum to know about.<\/p>\n
