The Challenge of Creating A Locked Picture Folder on iPhone

The native iPhone Photos app doesn’t offer any built-in ways to lock individual photo albums. This makes it challenging for users who want to keep some of their photos private, as anyone who has access to their phone can view all of their photos. The photos you take, while personal, can also be subject to theft. Hence, restricting access to certain files and photos are important. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. In this blog post, we’re going to look at different methods to create a locked picture folder on your iPhone.

  • A list of specific photos that you want to put in your locked picture folder
  • Possibly a method to keep a password you select securely. We recommend writing it down and storing it in a safe place.
