How To Hide Personal Photos and Videos

For Android:

To natively hide your photos on an Android device, open up your File Manager. Add a new folder, but start the name with a period. Example: .Secrets.

When you move your photos and videos into this folder, they won't appear in your gallery or albums. ❗️You can only access them through your file manager. 👌

For iPhone:

Just select the photo you want to conceal, and tap "Hide" at the bottom of the screen. This will move the image to your Hidden" folder, and it'll stay out of any Moments, Collections, or Albums.

These device-native hiding techniques aren't password protected or encrypted, though, so using them is more risky. If someone knows your phone passcode, they can still access it.

Also there are apps for this task (password protected or encrypted). Would it be interesting for you to know about them?

How to Beat Social Media Algorithms

Social media platforms charge you nothing to use them, except info about you. Their algorithms decide what content to show you.❗️Don’t make their data harvesting easier —skirt the algorithms whenever you can.

✅ Don’t confirm the algorithm’s assumptions. Avoid interacting with suggested content if possible. If you find something interesting in suggestions, search for it manually and watch it from there.

✅ Eliminate suggested feeds when possible. Change your feeds to sort chronologically ➡️ don’t train the platform’s algorithm. Not for all social medias! Facebook and Twitter let you sort by recent posts. Instagram might not have a chronological feed at the moment, but it’s coming. TikTok - watch content from the “Following” (would show you videos only from accounts you follow).

✅ Use platforms without your account when possible (YouTube, Reddit).

✅ Use a burner account, with none of your real info.
