Hide Porn on an iPod Touch or iPhone

This article teaches you how to hide adult content while browsing the internet and how to hide adult material stored on your phone. This article also teaches you how to hide your downloaded and purchased apps from others on Apple's Family Sharing service.

Steps

Using Private Browsing Mode in Safari

  1. Open Safari. It's a white app that contains the image of a blue compass.
  2. Tap the "Tabs" button. It's an icon of two overlaid squares in the lower-right corner of the screen.
  3. Tap Private. It's in the lower-left corner of the screen.
  4. Tap Done. The search field at the top of the screen and the menu bar at the bottom will turn gray. You are now browsing in Private Mode.
    • Your search history will not be saved and websites are unable to leave cookies when you browse in private mode.
    • Tap the "Tabs" button in the lower-right, then Private in the lower-left to exit Private Mode.

Use an App

  1. Download Incognito Browser from the iTunes store. Incognito is a no-frills web browser that allows you to view anything without leaving behind a history. Simply close the browser, and your session will be erased.
  2. Use My Secret Folder. This passcode-enabled app stores pictures, videos, notes and contacts that you don't want anyone else to find. It also features a porn mode browser, and you can even take your own pictures from within the app to store in your secret stash.
  3. Install SpyCalc. SpyCalc allows you to hide pictures, videos, documents and recordings behind a fully functional calculator. You can group your items, tag them for searching and even create slideshows.
  4. Install Video Safe or Picture Safe. With these apps, you can either download pictures and videos onto your phone or take your own steamy shots from directly within the app.
    • If someone tries to get into your stash and types the wrong password, then the app sends them to a safe folder that houses generic material.
    • A quick double-tap hides images from passersby.

Hiding Apps on Family Sharing

  1. Open the App Store app. It's a blue app that contains a white "A" inside a white circle.
  2. Tap Updates. It's a rectangle icon that contains a downward-pointing arrow in the lower-right corner of the screen.
  3. Tap Purchased. It's at the top of the screen.
    • If prompted, enter your Apple ID and/or password.
  4. Tap My Purchases at the top of the screen.
  5. Tap All. It's in the upper-left. A list of all the apps that you've purchased with your Apple ID will be displayed.
  6. Swipe left on an app. Choose any app you don't want other people to know you've downloaded.
  7. Tap Hide. It's the red button to the right of the app. Your purchased or downloaded app will now be hidden from others who have access to your App Store purchase history.
