In this guide, we will show you how to hide and lock photos and videos on Nothing Phone 1.
When you take a picture or record a video with your smartphone, it will be stored in the device’s gallery. However, there may be times when you don’t want others to be able to view these items. It’s certain, though, that at some point you’ll hand over your phone to a friend or family member with the intention of simply showing them some photos, and they’ll instead start browsing your private gallery of images and videos.
If you don’t want strangers scrolling through your photo album, it’s up to you to keep that from happening at all times. You can easily hide and lock your private photos and videos on your Nothing Phone 1 by following this guide.
