Would this help:


  • Open the Photos app.
  • Scroll down and look for the Hidden album under Utilities. On iPad, you might need to tap the sidebar button in the upper-left corner first to see your albums.


To turn off the Hidden album:


  1. Open the Settings app, tap Apps, then tap Photos.
  2. Scroll down and turn off Show Hidden Album.


On an iPhone or iPad, the Hidden album is on and visible by default. When you turn off the Hidden album, any photos or videos that you've hidden won't be visible in the Photos app.


For more informations: Hide photos on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Vision Pro with the Hidden album - Apple Support.
