Secure Folder: Privacy Vault
VerifiediOSLive this weekA private folder for photos and videos on iPhone.
About
Secure Folder: Privacy Vault is an iPhone app for private photos, videos, files, and notes. Photos and videos are stored locally on the iPhone, and nothing is uploaded. The vault opens with a PIN or Face ID. A second PIN opens a decoy vault that shows harmless content while the real vault stays closed. Alternative home-screen icons include a calculator. A wrong PIN can save a local photo and a timestamp inside the vault.
The case
Who it is for
Someone who wants private photos and videos kept in a separate vault on their iPhone.
What is broken today
Private photos and videos sit in the main photo library, next to everything else on the phone. A separate vault on the device keeps them apart from the everyday library.
What it does about it
Photos and videos are stored locally on the iPhone, and nothing is uploaded. The vault opens with a PIN or Face ID. A second PIN opens a decoy vault. A wrong PIN can save a local photo and a timestamp inside the vault.
Why not the obvious alternative
The vault has its own PIN and Face ID, a second PIN for a decoy vault, and alternative home-screen icons, including a calculator.

I built Secure Folder: Privacy Vault as an independent developer. Photos and videos stay on the iPhone, and nothing is uploaded.
