Now, delete all those apps and read fully about the simple trick to lock or hide your images so that they won't appear in android gallery or your photo albums.





Requirements For hiding photos:
All that requires for the purpose of hiding precious pictures is just1- File Explorer
2-Basic knowledge of creating new folder.
Note: Some smart phones don't have built-in file explorer. To overcome this problem you can easily download some alternatives like File expert, File manager, or Astro file manager. You can choose any one that suits you well. In my case I prefer Astro file Manager.
You can also try the method directly from your pc or laptop connected to your android device. Infact, with pc the method would be somewhat more easier, fast and dont requires the explorer app, that is headache for some mobile owners.
Step By Step Method To Hide Your Photos:
1- Open up the SD card or your memory location using any file manger or explorer as explained above.![]() |

3-Name the folder anything but it should be starting with a dot ( . ).
Like .new folder or .photos.

Move-desired-photos |
Dot has the main role there, so don't ever forget to put this in the start of folder name.
You must remember the name of the folder as it would be the vault where you have saved your hidden images.
4- Final step is to move all of your photos that you want to hide, into the new folder you have created there. For the instance we consider .photos. you must ensure that photos are moved there in folder name starting with a dot.
Now you have locked your images in a folder that no body knows, even the image gallery and photos album. So, by doing this you have saved your pictures.
you can make sure that the images are really hidden or not by visiting the gallery. There in the gallery you will luckily see no images as these are in a safe vault.
Last words:
Please give us feedback about the method we have shared and apply it to to your phones if you really want your photos to be away from prying eyes.You must also try apps, for the purpose. Atleast you must know the use of them. Because there a lot of applockers on the google. One may click you.
