Free Apps To Hide Photos, Videos On Android
1. KeepSafe Photo Vault
KeepSafe is one of the most popular photos and video vault apps for Android. Using it, you can import photos and videos from your phone’s gallery and secure them with a PIN, pattern, or fingerprint. All the media is synced and can be accessed across all your devices. It also supports shared albums with auto-disappear control. Interestingly, the app doesn’t appear in the recently used apps menu to maintain your privacy. It’s free to use but contains ads. Key Highlights:

2. LockMyPix: Hide Photos & Videos
LockMyPix works similarly to KeepSafe but is a tad easier as you don’t have to delete photos manually from your gallery. All you need to do is set a PIN and import photos and videos directly to the app. It uses AES encryption to secure the media. Having said that, the free version is quite basic, and you’ll have to buy the premium plan if you want to use face or fingerprint unlock. The premium plan also unlocks features like Disguise mode and Intruder Selfie, followed by FakeVault, which lets you open another decoy vault if someone forces you. Note that the free version is ad-supported. Key Highlights:

3. Calculator Photo Vault
Calculator Photo Vault by FishingNet lets you disguise your photos and videos behind a calculator. The app works like those typical calculator vault apps where you can access hidden files by tapping the calculator button. The main advantage of using it is that nobody will even know if any such app exists on your phone. Furthermore, it offers a quick private camera shortcut on the homescreen, which automatically encrypts the clicked pictures into the vault. The app also comes with a private browser, notes, and recycle bin. Advanced features like Intruder Selfie, Fake Password, and Prohibit Screenshots are available but require the Premium version. Calculator Photo Vault is a disguised version of SGallery. Key Highlights:
