How to hide photos and videos in the gallery of your Xiaomi
This functionality will be really useful to save in a folder our photos or videos that we want that are not visible to the naked eye. In order to access this content, we will have to configure either a pattern or our fingerprint, thus providing a very high degree of access security.
In order to hide this content, the gallery application that Xiaomi integrates into its mobile phones makes use of Xiaomi Cloud, and we can configure it as follows:
- Access the gallery of your Xiaomi phone
- Select all those photos and videos that you want to hide and click at the bottom on the option “Add to album”
- Select “Private Album”
With this, the photographs and videos that we have selected will be hidden in the gallery of our phone. To be able to view them, we will only have to go to the Albums section and slide our finger down until the message appears “Drop to open private folder”.
Once we want to access the content, it will be enough to unlock it with a fingerprint or the pattern that we have previously configured and we will be able to visualize everything that we have safely hidden on our device.
