I have several photo albums that I transferred from my Mac and I used to be able to hide and unhide photos in those albums. But since the iOS 16, the hide option is gone for those photos in ‘from my Mac’ albums.
What’s even more curious is, those already hidden photos are still in the hidden album. I can’t unhide them either.
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16
Thank you for taking time to answer my question. But you didn’t get it at all. You just indicated how to hide a photo from the iPhones indigenous album, which is very straight forward . I am talking about how to hide photos in a ‘from the Max’ album. When you transfer photos from a Mac computer, those photos are organized into albums under ‘from the Max’ category. I used to be able to hide and unhide photos there. Now the function is gone. Please check my original post again. Thank you.
I’m using iOS 16.3.1. Can’t be newer. Restarted my device, too.
Hello maplenight,
You can use these steps to hide a photo:
1. Open Photos.
2. Select the photo or video that you want to hide.
3. Tap the More button, then tap Hide.
4. Confirm that you want to hide the photo or video.
You'll also want to make sure that you have the Hidden Album option enabled in Settings > Photos.
Hide photos on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac
If the Hide option is still not showing up, you can try the basics like restarting the device and making sure it's up to date.
If the Hide option is still missing, you'll want to contact Apple to report the issue: Get Support
Cheers!
honestly I don’t think local support can do anything there. It’s a software issue. Maybe the function is just gone…

I have iOS 16.2.
maplenight,
From what you've shared it may be necessary to have a closer look into Photos with local support options. You can review options available to you here: Get Support
