I’ve confirmed now that Hidden photos do get uploaded to iCloud Photo Library. However, the Hidden album is not visible when viewing the library from a web browser.

Answer: A: If you sync them to iCloud currently they will sync from iCloud to the new phone. If you don’t sync them to iCloud but back them up to either your computer or iCloud (which is not the same as syncing to iCloud) when you restore that backup to the new phone they will be transferred.
When you hide a photo from your Photo Library on iPhone, it goes into a Hidden Photos album. You won’t see it in your main Photo Library again, unless you unhide it.
How do I hide Photos in iCloud?
In the bottom-left corner, tap the “Share” icon, which looks like a box with an arrow sticking up out of it. On the bottom taskbar, scroll down and select the “Hide” option, beside an icon of a crossed-out eye. Tap “Hide Photo” (or Photos) in the pop-up to confirm.
Do Photos stay on iCloud if deleted from iPhone?
When you delete a photo or video from the Photos app on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, it also deletes from your iCloud Photos and any other devices where you’re signed in to iCloud Photos. It also no longer counts towards your iCloud storage.
Hidden photos will disappear from Photos view, albums and other views, but they will appear in a special Hidden album. This feature is not meant to be a secure way to protect photos, but just a tool to hide photos before deleting them or to take off photos out of normal viewing methods when they don’t belong there.
If you flag them, or attach a unique keyword they’ll be easy to find again for re-hiding. If you’re backing up the Library folder, then yes, the hidden pics are backed up too. Thanks for the advice. I flagged all the hidden photos, un-hid them then exported just fine.
You can‘t “lock” the hidden album, or even hide a photo behind a Face or Touch ID, or passcode. The biggest issue is all of your hidden media is accessible in a single location. Anyone who has access to your unlocked phone can open your Hidden folder with a few taps.
By default, hidden photos and videos on the iPhone are simply put in the Hidden album, which isn’t private or password protected.
Open Photos. In the menu bar, choose “View > Show Hidden Photo Album.” In the sidebar, select Hidden. Select the photo or video that you want to unhide.
Can family see my iCloud photos?
iCloud Photo Library is completely private to each user, regardless of whether you’re on a family plan or not. You don’t have the option of sharing your photo library even if you wanted to. What you can do is share specific photos via iCloud Shared Photo Albums.
Is iCloud private?
“iCloud is not private from the government or Apple. iCloud is just someone else’s computer,” said Jonathan Zdziarski, a computer security expert who specializes in Apple products.
What happens if I turn off photos in iCloud?
If you turn off iCloud on your iPhone only, all of the photos in your iPhone will remain. You can also access your photos on the connected devices or on iCloud. But, a newly taken image will no longer be saved on iCloud.
Do photos stay on iCloud forever?
iCloud Photos automatically keeps every photo and video you take in iCloud, so you can access your library from any device, anytime you want. Any changes you make to your collection on one device change on your other devices too. Your photos and videos are organized into Years, Months, Days, and All Photos.
How do I delete photos from my iPhone without deleting them from iCloud?
You can make it with steps:
- Go to Settings on your iPhone.
- [your name] and choose iCloud.
- Tap on “Photos”.
- Turn off “iCloud Photo”.
- Now, you can delete photos from your iPhone.
Where do permanently deleted photos go?
When you delete pictures on your Android phone, you can access your Photos app and go into your albums, then, scroll to the bottom and tap on “Recently Deleted.” In that folder, you will find all the photos you have deleted within the last 30 days.
With Photos, you can control which photos and videos are visible and what’s hidden. When you hide photos and videos, they move to the Hidden album, so they don’t appear in your Library, in other albums, or in the Photos widget on your Home Screen.
Every hidden photo automatically vanishes from your Camera Roll, however, and while they are backed up to iCloud, they are apparently “not visible when viewing the library from a web browser” according to a chat group.

In the Folder Options window that appears, select the View tab. Locate the Advanced settings section of the window. Under Hidden files and folders, select Show hidden files, folders and drives. Click Apply, then OK.
When “Hidden Album” is switched off, the hidden album on your iPhone will no longer appear under “Utilities” like it did before, meaning no one can access your hidden photos.Once you switch it back on, your hidden photo album will be right where it was before.
You can hide photos away in a special ‘hidden’ folder which means they can be perused at any time, but are kept away from the main photo feed.
