If you want to select all photos in an album quickly, tap on Select All at the top left corner of the screen.

Step 3: Hide Selected Photos

After selecting one or more photos, tap on Share located at the bottom left corner of the screen.

A share menu will appear with various options. Scroll through this menu until you find and tap on Hide. This action will instantly hide all of the selected photos from your main photo library.

Step 4: Access and Manage Hidden Photos

To access your hidden photos, go back to the main Photos app screen and tap on the Albums tab located at the bottom of the screen.

Scroll down until you find an album called Hidden. Tap on it to open and view all of your hidden photos.

TIP:

If you want to unhide a photo or multiple photos, follow Step 2, select the hidden photos in the Hidden album, and then tap on Unhide.

Congratulations!
