Photos is iding photos only in the moments and collection, but hidden photos are visible in any album.

Hiding in Photos is not meant to keep photos secret. It is just a means to exclude photos from moments and collections, because they are created automatically, and we cannot remove photos from moments and collections without deleting them.

To hide photos from albums use smart albums and add a rule "Photo is not hidden".

I am using this smart album to show all photos that are not hidden:
