This file basically tells Gallery applications not to scan this folder for media files. This time, choose “New file.” Name the new file. If you want to hide files in a specific folder that already exists, skip this step.įrom there, open this new folder (or navigate an existing folder you want to hide from the Gallery), then tap the + button once again. For this example, we’re going to use “Hidden” as the file name. Again, I’m using Solid Explorer for this tutorial, but you can use your favorite if you have one. Create a new folder, then name it whatever you’d like. Okay, with all that out of the way, let’s do this thing.įirst things first: fire up your file manager. Otherwise, you’ll have to cut/paste the images into the folder specifically for hidden files. For example, if you want to hide images in, say, your Downloads folder, you can do that.
There are a couple of ways to go about this whole “hide pictures” thing: you can make a new folder and move pictures that you’d like to be hidden into said folder, or you can just hide all the pictures in a specific folder. That’s a lot of hassle, so it’s probably best just to keep backup and sync disabled if you want to keep things personal. Because that thing is pretty fast and efficient about backing your pictures up, so if you want to keep things hidden you’d have to move the files instantly. If you use Google Photos, you’ll want to make sure the backup and sync options are turned off. One more noteworthy thing before we get into the meat and potatoes, too.
