Sony Xperia: how to hide photos in the smartphone album

The Sony Xperia line phones have a native function for anyone who wants to hide photos and videos in the image gallery. Using the "hide" feature on the smartphone's own album, the user can make it difficult to access his or her personal or confidential images - even preventing content from appearing on the gallery home screen.

While the alternative does not protect content with a password, using the native feature turns out to be more convenient than installing any application. In the following tutorial, see how to hide photos and videos in your Xperia with the help of the tool.
