Embarrassed By People Seeing Your Selfie? This App Can Hide Photos On Your Android
JAKARTA - One way to capture every passing moment is to take pictures or videos using a cellphone camera or digital camera.
All the photos you take with your smartphone end up in your device's photo gallery. If you want to see it again, you can simply open the gallery and just start browsing.
However, what if you want to hide the photo from being seen by the person who borrowed your phone without deleting it?
Or it could be because you don't want your younger sibling messing with your phone which will eventually cause all of your memorable photos to be erased. Whatever the reason, here are third-party apps that VOI can put together to hide your photos on Android.
Third Party Apps to Hide Pictures on Android
Maybe as a smartphone brand already has a feature to hide photos from the gallery. For example, the Locked Folder feature in Google Photos.
However, if your smartphone doesn't have that feature you can use third party apps that specialize in hiding photos, there are several to choose from. Here are three of the best:
1. Vaulty
Vaulty has been used by thousands of users, and left positive reviews on the Google Play Store. It comes with its own photo gallery, All your locked photos can only be seen in it.
Gallery also lets you create multiple vaults, meaning you can have different sets of photos to show different people.
No need to worry, because you can protect your content using a password, and even back up your media so it's safe if you ever lose your phone.
2. Keepsafe Vault
Keepsafe Vault is Vaulty's biggest competitor. Its feature set is very similar to Vaulti. All your photos are password protected and encrypted.
You can also back up your photos to the app's cloud storage. The app also comes with a feature that hides the icons on its screen, meaning that no one who picks up your phone will know that you're hiding something.
3. LockMyPix
LockMyPix uses standard-level AES encryption to hide an unlimited number of photos or videos on your Android phone or tablet.
Some of the other features of LockMyPix that make it stand out are the way the app creates a fake decoy vault with a separate PIN, support for photos on your SD card, encrypted backups, and support for GIF files.
