MIUI protects your Xiaomi mobile: hide photos, notes and even documents

Even if you don’t realize it, your Xiami mobile has a large number of functions and possibilities to protect you, among which are the possibility of hiding any document, photo, video, note or whatever you want so that no one else sees it.

Not only will someone not be able to see it if your mobile phone is stolen or lost, but neither will someone who has the pattern of your mobile phone or can easily unlock it.

Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO mobile phones add a new security layer to photos, videos, notes and documents so that only you can access them , and I’ll tell you how you can hide what you need from prying eyes and be able to see them as much as you want .

The next times you will save a few steps. In any case, remember that to do this you will have to have previously activated the synchronization of the gallery from the settings of your mobile, the steps are these:

  1. go to the gallery
  2. Click on the 3 dots in the upper right
  3. go to settings
  4. Confirm to activate synchronization
  5. Make the adjustments you want if you are interested

To be able to see the private photos on your mobile you will have to slide down in albums. The key is that you will have to put the pattern that you have established (not the one on the mobile) to view them.

Hide your notes so no one can see them

If you want your notes to be private, you can do that too by following a few simple steps. They won’t be able to access them even with your lock pattern if you do it this way, so I’ll tell you how:

  1. Enter Notes
  2. Click on More
  3. Add the text and what you want
  4. Go to the 3 dots on the top right
  5. confirm hide

To hide your documents , photos, videos or any other file you can do it from the file manager. It is very simple:

If it is another type of file other than documents, it is the same path and the process may vary slightly. For example, if you want to remove photos from the file manager, you will have to follow the same steps and then go to add folder and private folder, just like if you do it from the gallery.
