Show one photo. Not your whole camera roll.
What to do
Underlock is coming soon to the App Store. Here’s how it will work.
Put private photos in your vault
Importing puts a copy of each photo in your vault. The originals stay in the Photos app until you remove them.
- In Underlock, tap the Add button (a plus sign), then Import from Photos.
- Choose the photos you want in your vault.
- Keep Underlock open until the import finishes.
- When the import finishes, Underlock asks whether to remove the originals from the Photos app. Tap Remove.
- When iOS asks to delete the originals, confirm. The originals move to Recently Deleted in the Photos app.
- While the originals are in Recently Deleted, check that the photos are in your vault.
- To remove the originals for good, delete the originals from Recently Deleted. Until then, Recently Deleted keeps the originals for 30 days. After 30 days, the originals are gone for good.
When you show a photo
- Show a photo from the Photos app, which now holds only photos you’d show anyone. Inside your vault, a swipe shows the next photo or file.

What Underlock does
- Asks before removing originals. After an import, Underlock asks whether to remove the originals from the Photos app.
- A camera that skips your camera roll. Photos and videos you take in Underlock go straight into your vault.
- Locks as you leave. By default, your vault locks the moment you leave Underlock, so switching to the Photos app locks your vault.
