You can hide photos from your Photos view and move them to the archive. This can help you to organise your photos and hide any photos that you don't want to find often.
Any photos that you archive:
- Will still be in any albums that they were added to, search results and folders on your device.
- Won't be used to create Highlight videos or animations.
- Will still count towards your storage quota. Learn how to manage your storage.
If you have a document, receipt or photo that doesn't look like it should be in your Photos view, you might get a suggestion card to move it to the archive. Learn how to manage your suggestion cards.
