There are certain images that we keep on our phone that should not be visible to certain people. Ignoring the personal reasons of each one, which we are not here to judge, we are going to teach you, precisely, to hide images from the gallery of a Xiaomi mobile so that you feel comfortable when you lend your terminal. Another method would be to put a security lock on the gallery, but we have already told you that before. Now we are going to hide the photos.
To hide images from the gallery of your Xiaomi we are going to do the following.
First, we are going to open your phone's gallery app, and then choose the photos you want to hide. Long press on a photo and it will be selected. Next, mark the rest that you want to hide from the gallery.
Now we look at the bottom of the screen and click on the first emoticon that appears, 'Add to album'. A new tab will open in which we must click on ' Hidden album '. Next, we confirm that we want to hide the photos that we have selected.
It is likely that the gallery application, at this time, will ask you to create a security pattern and then unlock the hidden album in the corresponding section. You can also place the fingerprint as a key to open the hidden album. Just follow the onscreen steps until the album has been created successfully.
Now we are going to see the hidden album. The gallery consists of two tabs, photos and albums. Enter this screen and swipe all the way down to reveal a background image of a padlock. Keep pulling down until the screen to place the pattern or fingerprint appears, because there are times when it can go a little wrong and the album won't appear. Next, place the pattern or finger on the footprint and voila, the photos that were previously hidden will be visible.
If you have come here because you suspect that someone is looking at your photos and you fear for your privacy, we have to tell you that it is totally illegal for someone to look at your phone without your permission. Contact your city authorities if you fear for your safety.
