How do I send Photos & Videos to my Private Album on the Galaxy S26?

Last Update date : Mar 25. 2026

Keep your personal photos and videos out of sight by moving them into a Private Album on the Galaxy S26. This feature allows you to securely store sensitive content in a locked space within your Gallery, helping you protect your privacy from anyone else using your device. Once added, your files will only be visible after unlocking the Private Album, giving you full control over what stays hidden.
