Create a Private Space to Store Confidential Information

There are several apps and options to conceal some stuff from your phone. However, the most comprehensive and foolproof solution is to make a Private Space on your phone. Also known as Second Space on some phones, the Private Space option creates a copy of your OS that opens with a different password. This space will appear like an absolutely new one without any mark of activity. You can then hide files, photos, and videos on your Android phone using this private space.

The steps to create a Private Space differ for phones from various manufacturers. However, the following is a somewhat common route to enable the option for Private Space.

1. Go to the Settings menu on your phone.

2. Click on the Security and Privacy option.

3. Here, you will find the option to create a Private Space or Second Space.

Hide Files, Photos, and Videos on Android with Native Tools

While Private Space gives you the freedom to do anything without worries in one section, it can be quite a hassle for some users. This is true especially when you are only looking to hide a few photos from the gallery. If that is the case, then there’s an easier alternative for you. Discussed below are a few native tools for different mobiles using which you can hide files and media.

a) For a Samsung Smartphone

Samsung phones come with an amazing feature called the Secure Folder to keep a bunch of selected files hidden. You just need to sign up in this app and you can get started immediately after. Follow these steps to use this feature.

1. On launching the in-built Secure Folder app, click on the Add Files option in the right corner.

2. Choose from several file types as to which files you want to hide.

3. Select all the files from different locations.

4. Once you have compiled all the files that you wish to hide, then click on the Done button.

b) For a Huawei Smartphone

An option similar to Samsung’s Secure Folder is also available in Huawei’s phones. You can your files and media in the Safe on this phone. The following steps will help you fulfill this.

1. Go to the Settings on your phone.

2. Navigate to the Security and Privacy option.

3. Under Security & Privacy, click on the File Safe option.

Note: If this is your first time opening the app, then you need to enable the Safe. 

4. Once you are inside the Safe, you will find the option to Add Files at the bottom.

5. Select the file type first and start ticking all the files you wish to hide.

6. When you are done, simply tap on the Add button, and you are done.

c) For a Xiaomi Smartphone

The File Manager app in a Xiaomi phone will help in hiding files and folders. Of the many ways to make your confidential data disappear from your phone, this route is the most preferred one. Follow these steps to hide your desired content.

1. Open the File Manager app.

2. Find the files that you wish to hide.

3. On locating these files, you can simply long-press to find the More option.

Long-press on this folder to find the Hide option. On clicking this, the folder will instantly disappear. If you wish to access the folder again, then go to the settings of the gallery by clicking on the three dots on the top right corner.

Hide Media with .nomedia

The above option is suitable for situations wherein you can manually select the files and videos that you wish to hide. In case you wish to hide a large bundle of images and videos, then there is another option through the file transfer to a PC or laptop. It often happens that music and video downloads spam people’s galleries with unrequired images. WhatsApp can also be a hub of spam media. So, you can use the file transfer option to hide all these media in a few easy steps.

1. Connect your mobile to a PC or laptop.

2. Choose the filer transfer option when prompted.

3. Go to the locations/folders where you want to hide the media.

Simply create this text file in the folder containing files and media you wish to hide. After restarting your phone, you will witness that the folder has disappeared. To see all the hidden files and media, you can simply delete the .nomedia file from the folder.

Hide Individual Photos and Media in a Directory

You can use the above option for hiding a few handpicked photos and videos as well. The steps are almost the same as those for the file transfer method. This option is useful for individuals who don’t wish to take any risk of accidentally spilling their secrets every time they hand over their phone to somebody else.

1. Connect your mobile to a PC or laptop.

2. Choose the filer transfer option when prompted.

3. Click on the DCIM folder once you are inside the phone.

4. Here, make a folder entitled .hidden.

5. Inside this folder, make an empty text file named .nomedia.

6. Now, individually pick all the photos and videos that you wish to hide and put them into this folder.

Use Third-Party Apps to Hide Files

While these are some workarounds that you can use manually, several apps do the job automatically. In the app store for both Android and iOS phones, you will find an endless array of apps designed to hide anything. Be it photos or files or an app itself, these hiding apps are capable of making anything disappear. Listed below are some of the apps you can try to hide your files and media on Android smartphones.
