How do I get to my hidden videos?

To view hidden photos on an iPhone, open the Photos app and tap "Albums." Scroll down to the Utilities section at the bottom of the list and tap the "Hidden" album under it. If you don't see it, head to Settings > Photos and ensure "Show Hidden Album" is enabled.

Did you hide some photos on your iPhone but you are now not sure where those photos are? It’s easy to see those hidden photos on an iPhone, and we’ll show you how.

Note: Respect other people’s privacy when using this knowledge, as they have their own reasons for hiding photos on their iPhones.

To view your hidden photos, first, launch the Photos app on your iPhone.

At the bottom of the Photos app, tap “Albums.”

Scroll down to the bottom of the albums list and tap the “Hidden” album in the Utilities section.

(On older versions of iOS, the “Hidden” album is located under Other Albums rather than Utilities.)

Note: If you do not see the “Hidden” album option, the album itself might be hidden. To enable it, follow the steps in the section below.

The “Hidden” album screen shows all your hidden photos and videos.

To unhide a photo or video, tap that item on the list. When the item opens in full-screen, tap the three-dot icon in the top-right corner, then tap “Unhide” in the drop-down menu.

And your selected photo or video is now visible to everyone in Photos.

If you’re not finding the photos you were looking for, consider trying to recover deleted photos on your iPhone or iPad.

Enable the “Hidden” Photo Album on iPhone

Starting in iOS 14, you can turn off the “Hidden” album in the Photos app. To re-enable that album, you will have to change an option in your iPhone’s settings.

To do so, open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap “Photos.” Then, enable the “Show Hidden Album” option. Your album is now visible in the Photos app, and you can access your hidden photos.

And that’s how you go about finding photos and videos that you previously hid on your iPhone. Enjoy!

You may see the message, "Your YouTube channel has content but has been disabled" in your Content page. If so, your channel is hidden and your videos and other content are currently not viewable to others. 

This status may have happened because you chose to hide your channel through Google Account settings.

You can still watch, like, and subscribe, and that activity will be fully private. If you want to make your content viewable, or use other features, you must turn on the channel.

How to turn on your channel and show content

1. Sign in to YouTube.
2. Go to create a channel and fill out the form. This action will restore your YouTube channel. 
   • In the form, don't click "To use a business or other name, click here." This action will create a channel instead of restoring your hidden channel.
3. After you re-create your public channel, you can make your videos and playlists viewable in the Videos page.

If you have a Brand Account

1. Sign in to YouTube.
2. Tap your profile picture.
3. Tap Settings.
4. Tap Account
   
    Add or manage your channel(s).
5. Select the hidden channel.
6. When asked to create a channel, click OK.
