Hidden photos are shown in windows machine

I use a 3rd party app called InVault which takes photos from my library on my iPhone, deletes them from the library and requires a separate password or Face ID.

You can get it from the App Store but its name has changed to Vault - Hide Photos and Videos. There are also other similar apps available there.

“Hidden photos are shown in windows machine: Why all my hidden photos and videos are shown when I connect my iphone 16 pro to my windows pc. I think its a big risk if someone know my passcode then it can easily access photos and videos that anyone is not supposed to see. If I can see hidden photos in my windows machine then what’s the point to hide that photos ?

The solution is either there should be an option for this or Simply no hidden photos should be unless they are unhide.”

Perhaps I didn't make the point-- To solve the problem we should not be passing out our passcodes. This is like blaming the leaking of attack plans on your phone. The weakest point in any security system is the user.

If someone knows your passcode, then they can get to anything on your phone, including opening the Hidden album. The risk here seems to be in letting people know your passcode. Changing the passcode seems like it would solve the problem…
