Apple has an easy way for you to hide your iPhone photos from prying eyes. Let's get into it:

Open the Photos app.
Tap the photo or photos you want to hide, then tap the More icon.
Tap Hide.
Confirm by tapping Hide Photo.

Once you select Hide, another bubble will pop up, informing you that your photo will be hidden but can be found in the Hidden album in the Albums tab. By default, the Hidden album is locked, so someone flipping through your phone won't be able to find your hidden photos unless they know your iPhone passcode.
