How to Keep Photos Private on iPhone – A Step by Step Guide

We all have private photos we want to keep away from prying eyes.

KEYBOX not only keeps your photos private by requiring a login, it encrypts your photos using AES-256, the encryption algorithm used throughout the eCommerce industry. So if your iPhone is stolen the chances of the criminal ever gaining access to your photos is almost zero.

How to add a photo in KEYBOX

Photos can be added to any KEYBOX secret but let’s assume you want to create a photo collection.

 

Login to KEYBOX using your login password.

If the login succeeds you will be taken to the TOP screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the TOP screen tap the All Secrets icon.

This will take you to the All Secrets screen shown here. Tap the + button in the top-right corner.

You’ll now be taken to the Add screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Usually the basic type of new secrets is “Custom”.

You want “Photo” so tap the basic type cell.

This will take you to the Basic Type selection screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

From here select “Photos” (at the very bottom of the list).

Doing so brings you back to the Add screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now 3 “Photo / Image” fields have been added. Tap the top one.

This will take you to the photo screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the bottom left corner is an action button. Tap it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A menu will appear.

If you want to select the photo from your camera roll select “Choose from camera roll”. Remember to delete the photo from the camera roll later if you use KEYBOX to safeguard it! If you just want to take a photo now select “Take a photo”.

 

 

 

 

 

Once you’ve chosen the image you want to safeguard tap the Done button in the top-right corner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The photo has been given a unique ID which is now visible from the Add screen. Next, and at a minimum give the secret a name and tap the Save button.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You’ve now added a private photo to KEYBOX! It really is this easy!
