3. Show hidden photos in the macOS Photos application

We often store in our team several photographs of many situations that we live, whether personal, family or corporate level and always an image will be a great memory to relive these moments..

Many of these photos are undoubtedly personal and private and some of them we may not want to be visible to any user who accesses our team with macOS High Sierra and that is why today we will see how to use the Photos application to hide or see again an image in macOS High Sierra and thus add security when we consider it necessary.


1. Hide photos in the macOS Photos application

Step 1

The process is simple and with few steps, for this, we go to the "Photos" application, select the hidden photo, right click on it and select the option "Hide 1 photo":

Finally, for security, we must remove the “Hidden” section so that no one has access to it, for this, we go to the “Visualization” menu and there we select the “Hide hidden photo album” option:
