You can even lock it in the guest mode. Your pictures won't show again unless you unlock it.

Es File Explorer is all you need. Just encrypt the file and decrypt when you need it back.

Yes can lock even specific pictures or any other kind of media file on your phone without the use of any app. But that's if you are running Lollipop and above.

Go to Settings >> Security >> Data Protection, and follow the right prompts from there. All the best, bro!

Hello friend
first of all go to Google Play store than search by keywords app lock or best app lock for your phone
you will get some options like-
app lock
app locker
these two apps are best for hiding your personal stuffs on your android phone.

this has been my method hope it helps

1. go to file manager open your SD card or phone storage were the file,folder you want to hide is.

2.locate the file,folder or anything u wish to hide from your gallery and copy

3. press the options key of your phone>> click show hidden file>> you will see some folder that look dim/faint in appearance>>open any of them you wish

4. past inside the folder you open the file you copied and close.

5. use step 3 to hide the folder were you kept your file or you can leave it to be visible.

6.check your gallery you won't see d pix, vidz etc.

7.Now to open those file you hide>> go to were you kept it>> click on it>> select the player ie for video...

hope I helped my write up is long but its simple.

Download Quickpic. Select the folders you want to show. Others will not show. Hide your gallery app.
