Set a passcode · Face ID
4 digits / 6 digits
Open your albums without typing a passcode. You can also reset a forgotten passcode with biometrics.

Albums
Organize your photos by purpose.
Select photos, tap Add to Album, then choose an album. You can also create a new album there.

Sort Order
Use Sort Order in Photos to sort by date added or date taken. Touch and hold a photo, then drag it to arrange a custom order.

Fake vault
A separate vault to show others, opened with a different passcode.

Intruder Photos
When Intruder Photos is enabled, the front camera takes a photo after two incorrect passcodes and saves it on this device.

Back up to iCloud
Save encrypted photos to your iCloud so you can recover them on a new device or after reinstalling.
After changing devices or reinstalling, restore using the same Apple Account and iCloud Keychain.
