How to hide your private photos in Google Photos
Table of contents:
Our photo gallery is always very extensive, especially when we have had a device for a long time. We have images of all kinds, some more private than others. Surely you have looked for the option to hide some of your photos in the gallery. Luckily, Google Photos, the Google application that allows us to save photos and upload them to the cloud, has added a very interesting option in its latest update. With this new feature, we will be able to hide your private photosWe show you how below.
The essential thing to be able to hide your photos is to have the Google Photos application installed on your device. Normally, it already comes by default with Google apps. If you don't have it, you can always go to the Play Store, search for Google Photos and download it. It is important to log in with our Google account so that later, we can see them on any device. To hide our images we will use the new feature of the application called ”˜File”™. It is a kind of folder in the application, which allows us to hide our images In this way, they will not be seen in the main gallery, but in the folder, which will be visible in the application dropdown menu.
We must mention that, even if you save the images in the archive folder, they will be displayed if you search for them by name, have them in an album and of course, in your own fileEven so, it is a feasible way to hide them from the main gallery, and have them in a separate place, especially if they are personal images.
How to hide my photos in the archive folder
To save the photo in ”˜File”™ we will have to search for the desired image, enter it and click on the three-point menu at the top right. Click on the last option, ”˜archive”™. And it will be saved directly to the file folder. Once saved, we will get a confirmation notice, with the warning that they are not so hidden. In addition to the possibility of accessing the folder directly or continuing in the main gallery. If we go to the ”˜File”™ folder, visible in the drop-down menu on the left, we can see all our saved photos.In addition, we can select the option to move the images from the gallery to the folder more quickly.
