There are a few easy ways to hide things or your Apple device's browsing history. There are even apps that claim to keep your porn hidden from view or protect your browsing history. This wikiHow article teaches you how to hide adult content while browsing the internet and how to hide adult material stored on your phone.
- There are plenty of apps that you can download from the App store that claim to hide content that's on your phone.
- Use a Private browsing session with Safari if you're browsing porn on your iPhone.
- On an iPhone or iPod touch, hide your purchases from the App store if you're part of Family Sharing.
Using Apps
Download Private Web Browser Incognito from the App store. Incognito is a no-frills web browser that allows you to view anything without leaving behind a history. Simply close the browser, and your session and browsing data will be erased. This app offers a 7-day free trial, but then has a subscription fee after that.
Use My Secret Folder. This passcode-enabled app stores pictures, videos, notes, and contacts you don't want anyone else to find. It also features a porn mode browser, and you can even take your own pictures from within the app to store in your secret stash.
Install "Calculator# Hide Photos Videos". This app allows you to hide pictures, videos, documents, and recordings behind a fully functional calculator. You can group your items, tag them for searching and even create slideshows.
Install Photo and Video Safe. If someone tries to access your safe with the wrong password, the app will take a picture with your iPhone's camera and email it to you.
Try Secret Photo Vault - Keepsafe. With this app, you can store your adult content videos and folders with a PIN as well as capture new images and videos within the app.
Hiding Photos and Videos in Photos
Open Photos. This app looks like a multi-colored pinwheel. With iOS 16 or later, this Hidden album is locked automatically, so no one can access it except you.
Tap the photo or video that you want to hide. If there are multiple pictures, tap Select in the top right corner and then tap the media you want to hide.
Tap ••• . You'll find this horizontal three-dot menu in the top right corner of your screen.
Tap Hide. Confirm your action, then the picture or video will be hidden from the Library view of your phone. Access your hidden pictures and videos by opening the Photos app and tapping Albums. Your hidden album will be listed under Utilities.
Turn off Hidden Albums to completely hide your photos and videos. These images are not visible in your photo library, but someone can still see them if they tap the Albums tab and tap Hidden Album under "Utilities." To turn Hidden Albums off so it's not listed under the Utilities header, go to Settings > Photos and turn off Hidden Album.
Using Private Browsing Mode in Safari
Open Safari. It's a white app that contains the image of a blue compass. If you don't want Safari to keep track of the websites you visit, you can browse privately with this method.
Tap the "Tabs" button. It's an icon of two overlaid squares in the lower-right corner of the screen.
Tap the number of tabs you have open. This "x Tabs" button is centered at the bottom of your screen.
Tap Private. This is usually the second option in the menu next to a hand icon.
Tap Done. The search field at the top of the screen and the menu bar at the bottom will turn gray. You are now browsing in Private Mode. Your search history will not be saved and websites are unable to leave cookies when you browse in private mode. To exit Private Mode and return to your previous browsing, tap the "Tabs" button in the lower right, then the number of tabs you have open, and tap the tabs again.
Hiding Apps from Family Sharing
Open the App Store app. It's a blue app that contains a white "A" inside a white circle. If your Apple ID is a part of a family in Family Sharing, you can hide the apps you've purchased from your family group. This will only hide the purchase from the App store for your Family Group. This will not remove the app from your device or any other device in your Family that might have downloaded it.
Tap your profile icon. It's located at the top of the screen. This might show your initials instead if you didn't set a photo for your profile.
Tap Purchased. You'll see this at the top of the screen. If you're part of Family Sharing, tap My Purchases next. If prompted, enter your Apple ID and/or password.
Swipe left on an app. Choose any app you don't want other people to know you've downloaded.
Tap Hide. It's the red button to the right of the app. Your purchased or downloaded app will now be hidden from others who have access to your App Store purchase history.
