What steps should I take to protect a photo album with a password?
To protect an album on your iPhone, you should know that you will mainly use the notes application, and although at first the thing sounds a bit strange, the process is not really complicated.
Put a password to an album
The photo album to which you want to put a password must be created in your notes application. To place the password, you just have to click on the icon with the 3 horizontal dots inside the note and select the “Block” option . When you do that, you will jump to a tab where you must place a password next to a hint that will later serve to remind you of the password in case you forget it.
Create a footprint for photos
When you are creating the password for the album in the notes you will get an option that says “Use Touch ID” . This function will automatically associate the fingerprints that you have saved on your Apple device as a way to unlock the album in the notes.
Hide files
To hide the files you must first search for it on your iPhone. If what you want to hide is an image, you must go to your gallery, click on share and select the notes option. Then you will see all the folders that you have created in your notepad, there you must select the one that will work as a secret album so that your image is stored in that place.
