To further protect your hidden photos, it is crucial to use a strong passcode or biometric authentication, such as Touch ID or Face ID. This adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that only authorized users can access your hidden photos.

Moreover, you may want to prevent hidden photos from appearing in other apps or devices. To do this, open the Settings app, select Photos, and disable the "Hidden Album" option under the "Hidden Album" section. This prevents the Hidden Album from syncing across multiple devices or appearing in third-party apps.

Lastly, if you prefer to keep the Hidden Album itself hidden, you can do so by going to the Albums tab in the Photos app, tapping on the Edit button, and unchecking the "Hidden" album option. This will remove the Hidden Album from your Albums tab, making it even more discreet.
