What's the Best Way to Hide Videos on Android?

Use a vault that really encrypts. A hidden folder only moves files out of view. HypaVault encrypts each video on your phone, and it plays only inside the app.

How Do I Hide Videos on iPhone?

Import them from Photo Library or record them with the in-app camera. Then delete the originals in the Photos app, including Recently Deleted.

Can I Record Video Straight Into the Vault?

Yes. The in-app camera records straight into HypaVault. Nothing is saved to your gallery.

Can I Watch Long Videos Without Exporting Them?

Yes. Large videos stream from their encrypted 4 MB pieces as they play, so they're never decrypted whole or saved back to your gallery.

Where Do My Videos Show Up?

In the Videos tab, newest first and grouped by month, wherever they're filed. They're in Files too, inside their folders.

Can I Share a Video Out of the Vault?

Yes. Share decrypts a copy for your phone's share sheet, after a warning that the copy leaves the vault unprotected.

How Many Videos Can I Keep?

Free holds 5 videos, counted across the whole phone. Pro removes the limit.

Will My Videos Survive a New Phone?

Yes, with a backup or your recovery phrase. Restore a .hypa backup, or bring the vault over with its recovery phrase. With Pro you can also send it over Wi-Fi.

Secure Video Vault at a Glance

Secure Video Vault is the Videos tab in HypaVault, where private videos are recorded, encrypted and played without passing through your gallery. The in-app camera records straight into the vault, and imported videos are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they're saved. Each file is stored in encrypted 4 MB pieces, so large videos stream as they play instead of being decrypted whole.
