There’s an option under settings to not allow iCloud photos. I’m with you, I don’t want anything from my phone to show on the TV lol.

Turn off photo streaming from iCloud in the settings

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I believe you should be able to delete the app on the tv but if not you can put the questionable photos in the hidden folder on your phone/mac. That’s where all my sexy photos go and they are locked with Face ID

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That happened to me once when my dad visited 🤦🏻‍♂️ Learned real quick lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Did you at least get a fist bump?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Put it in your hidden folder it won’t appear on the tv then. Well actually I can’t confirm that totally but that stuff won’t show up in the photos.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Ahhhh! The eternal problem! Just turn off iCloud sync.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’ve got mine set to only show Shared Albums.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Also you put the photos in the hidden folder on your phone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I have one labeled “Not Porn” so nobody will think to look there.

Move the questionable photos to the ‘Hidden’ album and no one will be able to accidentally see them if they happen to view your photos using the Photos apps on the Apple TV. That’s why Apple created the ‘Hidden’ album.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I honestly wish you could choose to search the hidden album. Either search from in it, or check a box in search, unlock biometric, and boom — included.

I’d love to use the hidden album more but it’s a bit neutered once you start really filling it up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh you’re really building a collection over there

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I’m 37. I’ve been around. 😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

This is the way. Or just disable iCloud photos on your appletv entirely, as others have said. I do both.

I heard if you post them here then they won’t show up in the Photos app. gifgif

OP’s profile says they’re 14. Yikes dawg

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah didn’t look at the profile. deleted.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Why are your nudes on your icloud anyway? That’s asking to be hacked.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What kind of photos would your family not be comfortable with?

“Oh, that’s not the turkey I was looking for…”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

If photos or movie have personal sensitive material, DON’T store it in the cloud, doesn’t matter who’s the service provider. Don’t trust it. Don’t leave in you phone too, be can be stolen and making very easy to preying eyes.

Buy an external mnve drive that has password lock and store it in a safe place.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Just set those photos/videos to private. This has been available for several years. Ensure full iCloud encryption is on and your good.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I never logged into it so mine is not confirmed, it just says view icloud / shared but if you click on either, it asks for approval via phone. Is there no way to undue that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

You can also bury the app in a folder

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just put that stuff in your hidden folder. Works like a charm

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yes, unfortunately the hidden folder is neutered so you can’t search in it or anything or choose photos from it in an upload dialog or anything.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I had to do this too lo, I don’t remember now though im too high !

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Create new iCloud account and share benefits with it such as Apple TV and use it strictly for tv nothing else - photos are excluded along with everything else

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

How much would it cost us to have you leave it and tell us about it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I only used shared album. My wife and I add any new photos of the kids and family and set it as screensaver. It’s nice having an ever changing screen saver on there. And unlike your hidden photos, your family will love it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Settings > User > Photos > Turn Off

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Put those pictures in your hidden folder.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Turn it off. Go to Settings -> Users -> Default User -> Photos -> Off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

If you don’t want friends and family to judge you harshly, also delete Peacock.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I don’t even have my photos set up on mine. I set everything else up but I left photo app untouched. Weird it’s even on the Apple TV if you ask me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Ok you have to give us all a look now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

You and I both sister

Place the pictures in question in your hidden folder

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Use this on your phone for photos. It encrypts them, hides them behind a 'audio management panel', or 'calculator', or other fake app which you long press on the title or some such, enter a pin, and it lets you into the photos, videos, apps and things you want hidden.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I would imagine they’re using an iPhone though… you posted a Google play link. Wrong OS

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What about not having that picture in the first place?

Well, do share

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Just sign out of iCloud. The other apps will work except Apple TV if u use it. When your in your own sign back in

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

In the settings you can turn off photos . The app would be there but It won’t show anything
