The iPad’s operating system does not include a method for hiding files. To protect image, document or other files, you will need an additional app. Secure file apps general cost a small one-time purchase fee, but a few dollars is a small price to protect your sensitive files. Apps that can hide your files generally require a password to unlock the app and access the hidden files. Choose a password that you can remember without recording it elsewhere on your iPad, yet one that is hard for others to guess. Storing the password on your iPad, even in another file, reduces the security of the file-hiding app. Writer Bio
