Hi, can you add feature to hide selective sensitive photos in Lightroom CC Mobile App? I like to show my friends/family pictures on the Lightroom app directly, it would be nice to hide some photos besides putting them in folders. Maybe even password protected perhaps? Thanks!

Or showing a vacation album at family reunion without wanting them to wander off into the nude shootings folder...

I would like to see a feature like this too, a kind of "lock all but this album" by fingerprint or pin.

My Background:
I synced my whole catalog, every image I took as smartpreview, so its all there.

I use a tablet to show a folder with example pictures to potential photo models, would be nice if I could just give them access to that example folder without me needing to trust and watch them (or using another softeware).

Also after a shooting, they have the tablet to view and rate, again would be nice to just restrict access to this one folder/album.

ขอบคุณสําหรับคําแนะนํา แต่นี่หมายความว่าฉันต้องใส่สี / ดาว / อัตราภาพทั้งหมดของฉันยกเว้นภาพที่ฉันไม่ต้องการให้แสดง ดูเหมือนจะเป็นกระบวนการที่ค่อนข้างน่าเบื่อ น่าจะดีกว่านี้ถ้าฉันสามารถซ่อนเฉพาะบางภาพที่ต้องใช้รหัสผ่านในการดู ด้วยวิธีนี้แม้ว่าฉันจะส่งอุปกรณ์ของฉันไปยังสมาชิกในครอบครัวคนอื่น ๆ ก็จะไม่สามารถดูรูปถ่ายได้โดยไม่ตั้งใจ

Thank you for the suggestion. But this means that I have to enter the color / star / rate of all my images except the images that I don't want to show. Seems to be a rather boring process Probably better if I can hide only certain images that require a password to watch. In this way, even if I send my device to other family members, I will not be able to view the photos inadvertently.

I don’t think this is available on Lightroom CC Mobile. Tried to look for it.

I hope you know that you can select a bunch of photos and then (with one click) assign all of them the same rating or color. This would make the solution less tedious.

this! Or at least implement a 'hide photos' feature and have a smart album where all hidden photos are stored. 

Currently I use 1 star to mark photos I don't want everyone to see (pregnancy photoshoots, for example) but in this case each time you launch the app (Mobile or Apple TV) you have to go to the filtering options, while your photos are visible.

In addition to that, because 1 Star is greater than 0 Stars, I'm now forced to Star (2 and above) each photo I take for it to be visible... 

Frustrating to say the least.

Just want to be clear, I am currently only using Lightroom CC mobile, not Lightroom Classic CC.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this means that I have to color / star / rate all of my pictures except for those that I don't want to show. Seems quite a tedious process. Would be nicer if I could hide only certain photos which requires password to be viewed. That way even if I pass my device to another family member, the wouldn't be able to see the photos accidentally for example.
