Keeping medical photos private

Photos of a rash for the doctor, a prescription, a lab result. Medical photos are useful and deeply personal, and they surface in Memories, widgets and search.

Short answerMove medical photos and scans into an encrypted vault, delete the originals and empty Recently Deleted, and scan new documents straight into the vault so they never enter your camera roll.

Move what's there

Search Photos for "prescription", "report" or the clinic's name, move results into a vault and clean up the originals.

Capture privately next time

Use VaultBolt's private camera or document mode. Photos and multi-page scans are encrypted as they're captured and never reach the camera roll or iCloud Photos.

Share carefully

When you send a photo to a doctor, use the clinic's secure portal where possible, and strip location first.

Frequently asked questions

Can medical photos show up in Memories?

Yes. Photos can feature any image in Memories, widgets and Featured Photos. Hiding or moving them keeps them out.
