PhotoSafe comparison
PhotoSafe vs Leaving Private Photos in the Camera Roll
Private photos in your camera roll show up whenever you hand someone your phone or share your screen. PhotoSafe moves them into a locked vault, out of the main library and casual view.
Comparison table
| Factor | PhotoSafe | Leaving Photos in the Camera Roll |
|---|---|---|
| Hidden from camera roll | Yes | No |
| Locked access | Yes | Phone passcode only |
| Safe to hand phone over | Yes | Risky |
| Separate from shared albums | Yes | Can leak |
| On-device | Yes | Yes |
Where PhotoSafe wins
A dedicated vault keeps sensitive photos out of the main library, so they do not appear when you show someone a picture or screen-share. The camera roll offers no such separation.
When Leaving Photos in the Camera Roll still makes sense
If nobody else ever touches your phone and you never screen-share, the risk is lower. For anyone who hands their phone around, a vault is real protection.
