Never hand your iPhone to a pal without doing ‘hidden face’ trick first – it’s a BIG risk

THE IPHONE’s Face ID feature was one of the best-received Apple innovations to date – it’s getting even better in iOS 16.

Apple fans have lauded iOS 16 for its dazzling customization features but the iPhone will also be smarter and more secure with the next generation of software.

Your iPhone is a window into your personality and your life – be careful when you hand it off to another person.

You could accidentally share more than you intend to without proper precaution.

iOS 16 takes this possibility into consideration.

The new software allows users to create an album of hidden photos, accessible only through Face ID.

A TikToker posted a video of the feature in action.

Under the Photos app, a new subsection labeled “Hidden” will appear below the Utilities tab.

The poster presumably downloaded the iOS 16 beta through a $99 Apple developer account.

Remember, it is not advisable to download beta software onto your primary device.

Use a backup phone if you have one to spare.

The oldest device that supports iOS 16 is the iPhone SE, but only the second generation or later, per MacRumors.

iOS 16 will launch for iPhones everywhere this fall.

Apple updates are not automatic – check your phone to make sure you’re currently on the latest system.
