Your camera roll isn’t
a safe place

A friend borrowing your phone, a photo popping up in a preview, a cloud backup you don’t control… Sensitive photos deserve better than a “Hidden” album with no real encryption. Hidely encrypts them on your device, and nobody else holds the key.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Hidely free?

Yes, for up to 100 photos and videos, with no ads and no account. Premium unlocks unlimited storage, encrypted iCloud backup, the decoy vault, intruder selfie and disguised icons. The yearly plan includes a 14-day free trial.

Where do my photos go?

They stay encrypted on your iPhone. If you turn on Premium backup, an encrypted copy goes to your own private iCloud, unreadable to us and to Apple.

What if I forget my passcode?

Use your recovery key, generated when you created the vault. Without a passcode or key, the data is out of reach: that’s the price of real encryption, so keep it somewhere safe.

How do I switch to a new iPhone?

With Premium iCloud backup, install Hidely on the new device and restore your vault. Restoring is always free, even after your subscription ends.

How do I cancel the free trial?

Open Settings › your name › Subscriptions, tap Hidely then Cancel Subscription, at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.

What is the decoy vault?

A second passcode opens a different vault with other photos, for when you’re forced to unlock the app. Face ID always opens your real vault.
