How to Hide a Photo in an IPad
Determine your needs for hiding photos on the iPad. For example, do you want to just hide one or a few pictures or do you want an app that also lets you store files privately, such as journal entries you don't want others to see.
Tap your iPad's 'App Store' icon to launch the store interface.
Tap inside the search box and enter the key terms 'Private photo,' 'Private pictures,' 'Lock files,' 'Hide photos,' or similar terms. Any of these key phrases brings up a selection of apps to meet your needs.
Read the app descriptions for the apps resulting from your search. Pay attention to the size (cache) limitations to make sure the app can store enough data to include all your private photos. Also check whether the app encrypts your images. This is important if you're worried about sensitive images being seen if you lose your iPad. If you just want to keep a couple of unflattering photos out of the gallery, however, this is less important. An app that easily imports images from your existing photo gallery is best. Read the user reviews to find out how easy the app is to learn and use.
Download the app you determine best meets your needs for hiding your private images and wait for the iPad to finish installing it.
Launch the app, and then read any introductory or help files to determine how to get your photos into and out of the app.
Practice locking and unlocking the app a few times before you move any data into it. Once you're familiar with how it works, import the photos you want to hide. This usually involves tapping an 'Import' or 'fetch' button and browsing to the photos you want to import. Some apps may allow you to use the 'Action' button in e photo galley (the same button used to email photos) to send your pictures directly into the private app. Placing them within this app will hide them on your iPad, storing them where only you or someone to whom you give the passcode can view them.
