How can I hide pictures in iPhone 6s Plus?

I am having troubles hiding some picture. I already tired to hold down on the picture I want to hide. So the secret menu will appear but that doesn't work. Is there anyway to hide pictures in iPhone 6s Plus?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.2

Hello there, JacklynG23.


It sounds like you are trying to hide photos that you do not want to show on your iPhone 6s Plus. The following link to the iPhone Online User Guide provides the information on how to do just that:


Organize photos and videos - iPhone User Guide


Hide photos or videos you want to keep but not show. While viewing thumbnails, tap Select, then select the photos or videos you want to hide. Tap User uploaded file, then tap Hide. The photos or videos are moved to the Hidden album.

Note: Photos or videos are hidden from Moments, Collections, and Years, but are still visible in Albums.

Thank you so very much!!! I just recently upgraded to 6s so was not aware of this option. I am addicted to a jigsaw puzzle app that makes puzzles out of photos, so though I have an album for that, I still had hundreds of images in my All Photos file and it was driving me nuts! Thanks again.

The Hide option in Photos merely hides the images from certain albums. It does NOT make them "Secret." for that, you have to move them off the Photos Library.
