The Photos application on iPhone allows you to view the photos taken with your device's camera, the images you download from the Internet and the multimedia files that you receive through WhatsApp or any other messaging application.

All this content, although stored in their respective albums, is also displayed in the 'Recents' folder, which can cause private or compromising images to appear next to photos suitable for the public, and when you want to show this material from the film to friends or family, they get surprises. Fortunately, there is a very easy way to hide these types of images on an iPhone.
