I appreciate your answers, but they still do not solve the problem with the Apple update.
I had Macbook in my signature, but I've been writing about an iOS problem (not MacOs) since the beginning. Why write everything on the phone when I have a computer on my desk? What is the difference?
Still I'm not sure if we're understand each other. I will describe you two situations. BEFORE the update, all you had to do was click on add a photo, select any album and assign a photo. Including photos from the Hide album. AFTER the update, the Hide album disappeared from the list of photo albums. I'm talking about the organization of the album list. Not about access or anything else.
That's what I'm trying to ask here. Why is the organization of the photo albums changed like this after the update and can I change it? And I'm asking here on the Apple community forum because it's a problem after an Apple (iOS) update. Not Whatsapp.
And no. Before the update to iOS 18.1 (18.1.1), I unlocked the Skryte album using face ID.
Thirdly. Why save photos in files and folders, that is, in another place on the phone, when you can just hold the photo in the phone gallery and select hide...? I don't mean it in a bad way, but I'm looking for advice with a specific problem. Not for advice on what you think other users will appreciate or not. I am not asking about security against third parties
In short - everything happened after an update from Apple. And I still accept the possibility that I'm doing something wrong somewhere, for example in the settings.
