Xiaomi: Unhide a Hidden Album in Gallery

If a photo album you hid earlier is missing from Gallery, it is not deleted - it just sits in a separate hidden section. Xiaomi keeps hidden albums out of the main view until you unhide them again, and each album needs to be restored on its own.

Unhide an Album in Gallery auf Xiaomi

When an album disappears from the main Gallery view on a Xiaomi phone, it usually was not deleted. MIUI Gallery lets you hide albums so they no longer show up in the default grid, but the content stays untouched until you decide to bring it back.

Hidden albums are moved into a separate section inside the Gallery settings. From there, each one can be unhidden individually, which means partially restoring your library is possible without unhiding everything at once.

To bring a hidden album back, open Tap on GalleryOpen the MenuTap on SettingsTap on View hidden albums. Select the album you want back, then confirm with Tap on UnhideTap on OK.

Once confirmed, the album reappears in the normal Gallery view alongside your other albums. If several albums were hidden, repeat the selection step for each one you want restored - unhiding one album does not affect the others.

This function only works for albums hidden through the built-in Gallery hide feature. Files removed with a file manager or moved to a private folder through a different app are not affected by this setting.

Frequently asked questions

If Tap on View hidden albums does not appear, no album is currently hidden on the device. The option only shows up in Tap on Settings once at least one album has been hidden before.
