The Photos app on your iPhone automatically populates all photos from the front-facing camera in the Selfies album. But what if you don’t want a photo to appear there? Here are a couple of solutions.
Hide the Selfie from All Albums
The easiest way to hide a photo from the Selfies album is to move it to the Hidden album. The downside is the picture will be hidden from all albums, including the Recents album.
To hide a photo, open the image in the Photos app and then tap on the “Share” button that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it.
Next, select “Hide” photo. The image will instantly disappear from the Selfies album.
To find the photo, go to the “Albums” tab, scroll down to the “Other Albums” section, and tap on “Hidden.”
Remove EXIF Data Using Shortcuts
Apple uses EXIF data (metadata that’s attached to every photo) to sort pictures into the Selfies album. If the EXIF data says the photo was taken using the iPhone’s front-facing camera, it will automatically end up in the Selfies album. How do you stop this? Simple: Remove the EXIF data.
