Questions

## Hiding videos: questions

### How do I hide videos on iPhone?

Open the video in Photos, tap More (•••), tap Hide, then Hide Video. It moves to the Hidden album under Utilities, mixed with your hidden photos, and leaves your library and albums.

### Can I put a video in a locked note?
