Not to worry! We\u2019ll show you how to hide your NSFW pictures on your devices!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret, everyone has a picture or two that\u2019s personal, sensitive, if you may call it that\u2019s not meant for everyone to see. It could be a picture saved for a spouse, a significant other, or even a before-and-after workout picture that you might only want to keep for yourself. Chances are high that anyone can hack into your device and steal these pictures if you\u2019re not careful.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a circumstance that while using the WiFi at work, almost anyone can tap into your phone and access these pictures, for as long as you\u2019re connected to their network.<\/p>\n<p>Now, here\u2019s the situation: the majority of users around the world with a smartphone or a tablet seem to lose sight that almost anyone can get access to your pictures, especially if you save them on platforms like Dropbox. While securing these files is important, there\u2019s also a creative and secure alternative\u2014turning them into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zebaco.com\/pages\/canvas-prints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Canvas Photo Prints<\/strong><\/a>. This way, you can preserve personal memories while reducing the risk of digital exposure.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, Google has recently launched a \u201c<strong>Locked Folder<\/strong>\u201d that allows you to hide all your sensitive pictures or videos. It\u2019s currently available for Google Pixel 3 and later devices, though a version for all Android phones and tablets is bound to roll out soon.<\/p>\n<p>However, if this feature isn\u2019t yet available on your phone, you could also opt for the <strong>\u201cArchive\u201d<\/strong> feature to temporarily save all sensitive content. Other than this, there are other tutorials below showing you a number of ways to safeguard your NSFW pictures and more on iOS and Android devices.<\/p>\n<p>Before we get started with the tutorials, there are a few tips below that you can use.<\/p>\n        <div class=\"iprovpn_btn_cta_row\">\n    \t<a class=\"btn_cta\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/buy-vpn\" title=\"Get iProVPN Now\">Get iProVPN NOW <i class=\"fas fa-long-arrow-alt-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n    \t<\/div>\n    \n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_75 ez-toc-wrap-center counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/div>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/resources\/hide-sensitive-pictures\/#Tips_to_keep_your_NSFW_Pictures_secure\" >Tips to keep your NSFW Pictures secure<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/resources\/hide-sensitive-pictures\/#How_to_hide_NSFW_pictures_on_iOS_and_Android\" >How to hide NSFW pictures on iOS and Android?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/resources\/hide-sensitive-pictures\/#iOS\" >iOS<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/resources\/hide-sensitive-pictures\/#Android\" >Android<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/resources\/hide-sensitive-pictures\/#How_to_hide_your_sensitive_pictures_via_cloud_storage\" >How to hide your sensitive pictures via cloud storage?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/resources\/hide-sensitive-pictures\/#Google_Photos_Locked_Folder\" >Google Photos Locked Folder<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/resources\/hide-sensitive-pictures\/#pCloud\" >pCloud<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/resources\/hide-sensitive-pictures\/#Sync\" >Sync<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/resources\/hide-sensitive-pictures\/#The_2014_iCloud_hack\" >The 2014 iCloud hack<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/resources\/hide-sensitive-pictures\/#To_conclude\" >To conclude<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-11\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/resources\/hide-sensitive-pictures\/#Start_Browsing_Privately\" >Start Browsing Privately!<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_to_keep_your_NSFW_Pictures_secure\"><\/span>Tips to keep your NSFW Pictures secure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Everyone has the right to take a picture of themselves, and if it\u2019s private, then there are a few tips that you can take to make sure no one gets their hands on it. Here\u2019s what you could do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Just in case you&#8217;re not connected to data or your WiFi, use a VPN. Your ISP or other agents will be able to track almost anything on your phone. If you\u2019re especially not interested in using secure online storage software, at least consider using a VPN for extra security and encryption.<\/li>\n<li>Another thing to note is that if you\u2019re saving all your pictures on Google Photos and happen to sync all activities across multiple devices, including at work, <strong>make sure you don\u2019t sync<\/strong>. Anyone with access to your work device will be able to sign in to your account and view them if they want to.<\/li>\n<li>When you click a picture, and if it\u2019s a sensitive one, please <strong>leave your face out of it<\/strong>\u00a0or any other identifiable mark on you. There have been numerous leaks of sensitive pictures for years. It\u2019s caused some pretty major damage, out of which people have lost jobs, lost families, and much more!<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re taking sensitive selfies on the regular, make sure you <strong>leave your surroundings out of it<\/strong> as well, especially if it\u2019s identifiable. It could be any picture that you don\u2019t want your friends, family, or colleagues seeing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/posts\/encrypted-messaging-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">encrypted and secure apps<\/a><\/strong> for sending pictures. Certain apps notify you once someone takes a screenshot of a picture you sent. Look into these apps more carefully.<\/li>\n<li>NSFW memes are currently trending, and I understand that receiving or sending them could lighten up someone\u2019s mood, but&#8230;try not sending them to anyone during work hours? And, most certainly, do not send them via an official device. It would be a real pity if your boss caught wind of them! Maybe you could wait until you got home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_hide_NSFW_pictures_on_iOS_and_Android\"><\/span>How to hide NSFW pictures on iOS and Android?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iOS\"><\/span>iOS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is a simple method, but again, not secure. All it will do is transfer all pictures and videos that you select into your <strong>\u201cHidden\u201d<\/strong> folder. Here\u2019s how you can do that:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Go into \u201c<strong>Photos<\/strong>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Click on or select the photo or video that you want to hide.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Now, click on the \u201c<strong>Share<\/strong>\u201d button, and then click on <strong>\u201cHide.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Lastly, confirm whether you want to hide the photo or video.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>And that\u2019s about it. As mentioned above, copying pictures or videos into the Hidden folder doesn\u2019t mean that no one will be able to access them. It only means that the files are temporarily hidden. If you\u2019re trying to hide the album, here\u2019s what you can do:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Go into the phone\u2019s <strong>\u201cSettings.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Click on <strong>\u201cPhotos\u201d<\/strong> and then on \u201c<strong>Turn off Hidden Album<\/strong>.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Again, this won\u2019t be hiding anything. Anyone with motivation can still get into the very same album if they want to. However, if simply shifting around pictures on your device is not satisfying, there are other safer methods available for hiding your sensitive pictures online.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Android\"><\/span>Android<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Make sure you have your biometrics to sign in and out of the Locked Folder.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Go to your Android <strong>\u201cSettings.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Click on \u201c<strong>Biometrics and security<\/strong>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">And then click on \u201c<strong>Secure Folder<\/strong>.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As mentioned above, there is another way to hide sensitive pictures and videos on your Android smartphone using the \u201c<strong>Locked Folder<\/strong>\u201d feature. You can read ahead to get familiar with it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_hide_your_sensitive_pictures_via_cloud_storage\"><\/span>How to hide your sensitive pictures via cloud storage?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve gone through the entire blog from the very start, I\u2019ve mentioned that most users, with a lack of research, often go for online storage apps that are susceptible to cyberattacks. One such app is Dropbox. It\u2019s just not safe, especially if you\u2019re trying to hide NSFW pictures.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, there are numerous other online storage services that you could use. We\u2019ve carefully gone through each and listed only the best right now. If you&#8217;re going for a cloud service, consider one that offers higher levels of encryption, password protection, and other kinds of security features.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_Photos_Locked_Folder\"><\/span>Google Photos Locked Folder<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>First, on the list, we have the Google Photos Locked Folder. You&#8217;ll find it on Google Pixel devices, and soon on other Android phones! What&#8217;s great about the app is its password-protection feature. Plus, you wouldn\u2019t need to manually load all sensitive pictures into the folder one by one.<\/p>\n<p>With its latest feature, you will be able to click a picture and directly send it to the Locked Folder. Unlike Google Photos, the Locked Folder app is highly encrypted. With that, you will be able to pick and choose which sensitive pictures to send to the Locke Folder and which ones to leave stored on your device. It offers free storage of up to 15 GB, and a paid one that offers an additional 100 GB that costs around $1.99\/mo.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"pCloud\"><\/span>pCloud<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another one of the best online storage for hiding your sensitive pictures is pCloud, operating\u00a0 It operates with zero-knowledge encryption, meaning none of your data is stored on its servers. It also means that no one else will be able to break into your account and steal your pictures. This is best for hiding your NSFW pictures and videos. The provider itself is confident that their software is unbreakable, and it challenged hackers around the world to attempt breaking into it, for a reward of 100,000 USD. It offers free storage of 10 GB and allows users to extend the storage space up to an additional 500 GB for $47.88\/year.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sync\"><\/span>Sync<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another one of the best is Sync, offering users a chance to store their NSFW pictures and videos in a safe online storage, where only they can access. Just like pCloud, Sync also promotes a super high-end and encrypted storage software that\u2019s not hackable, giving users complete control of their privacy. It further adds, they will never log or share any personal data to third parties or other sources, especially since they too can\u2019t access it.\u00a0 A few security features added to it are password protection, two-factor authentication, granular user permissions, remote wipe, and more.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_2014_iCloud_hack\"><\/span>The 2014 iCloud hack<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Normally, most users assume that storing sensitive pictures and then deleting them would automatically clear off all the evidence. Back in 2014, there were a few leaked nudes of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities. Looking at that, what\u2019s to make of online privacy?<\/p>\n<p>A prison sentence was given to the hacker for the leak. However, if deleted pictures are often hacked, to what degree are your pictures safe? The fact that the hacker could infiltrate iCloud storage means that they could do much more with a phone. This applies even if the phone is wiped clean. In a nutshell, if you\u2019re going to save sensitive pictures, make sure you understand the consequences.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_conclude\"><\/span>To conclude<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>P wouldn\u2019t recommend anyone to save their sensitive pictures on the cloud, even though it seems a little safe. There\u2019s always a way to get them traced back to you, or they can be hacked. If you\u2019re still considering the option, there\u2019s a guide above for the best ways to save NSFW pictures. We&#8217;ve suggested a few encrypted cloud storage services.<br \/>\n    \t<hr class=\"mt-5\">\n        <div class=\"custom_CTA mt-5\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                <div class=\"col-lg-7 align-self-center text-lg-left text-center\">\n                    <h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start_Browsing_Privately\"><\/span>Start Browsing Privately!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n                    <p clas=\"mb-0\">iProVPN encrypts your data for protection against hackers and surveillance.
