Picture Hide Apps

---

Quick Question...why do picture hide, picture vault, apps...need all those permissions?? I dont understand why they need internet access to hide pictures..anyone has an explanation? Thanks!!

If you need to hide your pr0n, you don't need those apps. Using a file manager such as ES File Explorer, create a new folder with a "." in front of it (Ex. ".Pictures"). The phone doesn't search for media in folders with a "." in front of their name. I think for ES File Explorer, you'll have to go into the settings so you can view all the folders with a "."

I use Hide It Pro. It's free too.

Vault is a great free app to hide things

I believe that creating a .nomedia file in what ever folder you don't want to be scanned will do the trick also

You hide & secure folders with QuickPic.
