Hidden album is not showing up.

Why the hidden album is completely gone from the “Utilities” section?


I did try to restart few times, and toggle on off of “Show Hidden Album” from the Setting, it doesn’t help at all!


How can I get back my photos in the hidden album?!

iPhone 13

Hi there [yun],


We can provide some guidance if you're not seeing your Hidden Album in the Photos app on your iPhone. To start, let's follow these steps to be sure it's turned on:


To turn off the Hidden album:
1. Go to Settings and tap Photos.
2. Scroll down and turn off Hidden Album.
3. On an iPhone or iPad, the Hidden album is on and visible by default. When you turn off the Hidden album, any photos or videos that you've hidden won't be visible in the Photos app.


After you've ensured Hidden Album is turned on in Settings > Photos, you can follow these steps to view in in the Photos app:


Find the Hidden album
1. Open the Photos app.
2. Tap the Albums tab.
3. Scroll down and look for the Hidden album under Utilities. On iPad, you might need to tap the sidebar icon in the upper-left corner first to see your albums.

Take care.
