Why do I no longer have the options to put photos into the hidden folder? The hide photos action is not there and not under edit actions either. Running iOS 15.4.1.
iPhone 12
even doing this, the ‘Hide’ option does show up

On iOS 16 the "Hide" option has been moved to the Actions menu - the button with the three dots (•••) to the right of "Edit".
Hi Coop1996,
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Apple Support have an article online for iOS15
Delete and hide photos and videos on iPhone – Apple Support (AU)
Eg: says:
, then tap Hide in the list of options.
> Photos, then turn off Hidden Album.Hope this helps :-)
I am seeing the "Hide" option even, if the Hidden album is hidden. It would not be very convenient, if we would have to toggle the Hidden Album on and off, to be able to hide photos. It would be error prone, as we could forget to hide the Hidden album again.
Perhaps the photos have been selected in an album, where we cannot hide them, for example in a shared album. We can only hide photos from the library, but not shared photos.
Wondering if you first checked Settings > Photos, then turn ON Hidden Album if it is turned off..
Having the exact same issue. IOS 16.0
No problem, I am also here to learn from you and others 😊
@coop 1996 - If it is not a problem of the selected photos, consider to update to the most recent version of iOS. It might simply be a bug in iOS 15.4.1. I seem to remember similar posts for the previous system version.
+1 same issue on iOS 16
Thank you
Thank you léonie,
I have much to learn :-)
The hide photos option is no longer available on my iPhone 12.
