Hidden Album App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — 隐藏相册, 隐藏的项目 & Hide Photos zh-Hans Copy

Who this is for

Western indie iOS and iPadOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:

• Ship or market a photo privacy or library organization app whose buyers use Hidden album to hide photos and videos from the main library without deleting them
• Market Photos → Albums → Hidden on the en-US product page — Hide photos, Hidden album, Hidden items, Hide, Unhide, View hidden items, or gallery frames showing items moved to the Hidden album
• Reference hide-from-library workflows — not passcode-protected Locked Folder vaults, not Recently Deleted trash recovery, not Find My device tracking
• Finished Hidden album–aware UX or hide-unhide flows in the binary — not looking for PhotoKit asset-hiding engineering help here
• Enabled the China storefront but the zh-Hans product page still shows English copy or untranslated Hidden badge lines on screenshots
• Need paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields — not an engineer for hide APIs, not a designer to re-render Hidden album screenshot PNGs, not Locked Folder or Clean Up marketing copy

If your hero is Locked Folder passcode-protected private photos — Face ID, Touch ID, 锁定相簿 — see Locked Folder listing (zh-Hans). If your lead feature is Clean Up object removal — tap-to-erase photobombers, not hide-from-library — see Clean Up listing (zh-Hans). If your hero is Duplicates merge — find and merge matching photos, not Hidden album — see Duplicates listing (zh-Hans). If general photo library browsing dominates, see Apple Photos & photo library listing (zh-Hans). If the entire China page is still English on every field, start with China App Store still shows English or the AppLocale product page.

Photos Hidden album vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs

Teams assume Photos hide capability on device covers storefront language. PhotoKit hide behavior and Connect actually separate in-app Hidden album organization from product-page copy:

• Photos → Albums → Hidden — Apple's system surface where buyers hide photos and videos from the main library. Controls on-device hide-from-library behavior — not App Store language. AppLocale does not perform this.
• Hide photos & Hide action — moving selected items into the Hidden album via context menus or share sheets. Your listing may show this hide workflow on screenshots; describing buyer-visible hide actions is listing copy, not engineering work.
• Hidden items & Hidden album grid — browsing items already marked hidden, item counts, and album thumbnails. Product-page copy should describe that workflow; building hidden-album UI and PhotoKit queries is in-app engineering.
• Unhide & move back to library — restoring hidden items to the main photo library. Listing copy names unhide value; implementing unhide logic is engineering work, not Connect metadata.
• 已隐藏 status — confirmation badges or status lines after hide completes. zh-Hans copy should describe buyer-visible hidden state — not over-claim passcode protection your English listing does not state.
• Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China App Store. Separate from language rows.
• App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshots, and caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of Hidden album support in the binary.

Working hide-from-library flows and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Hidden album, 隐藏相册, and Hide photos value on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you wire PhotoKit hide APIs in code.

Hidden album listing copy vs Locked Folder vs Recently Deleted vs Clean Up vs Duplicates

Photo privacy apps blur several shop guides indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — Photos Hidden album hide-from-library marketing on the product page:

• Hidden album (this page) — Photos → Albums → Hidden: Hide photos, Hidden album, Hidden items, move items out of the main library, view hidden items, 隐藏相册, 隐藏的项目, 隐藏照片, and 已隐藏 vocabulary.
• Locked Folder (different) — iOS 18+ passcode-protected vault behind Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode — 锁定相簿 and 私密相册. See Locked Folder listing guide — biometric vault privacy, not hide-from-library album toggles. Do not make Face ID the hero when your English gallery centers Hidden album.
• Recently Deleted (different) — 30-day trash recovery window in Photos, not a hide-from-library album. Mention only as contrast — AppLocale does not write Recently Deleted hero listing copy.
• Clean Up (different) — tap-to-erase object removal and photobomber erase — 清理照片 and 擦除路人. See Clean Up listing guide — object removal from a single photo, not Hidden album organization.
• Photos Duplicates (different) — find duplicate photos and videos, review groups, merge to free storage — 重复项目 and 合并重复项. See Duplicates listing guide — duplicate merge, not hide-from-library.
• Photos Places, People & Pets, Shared Albums, Featured Photos, Memories, iCloud Photos (different) — map browse, face albums, collaborative invites, For You highlights, Memory movies, and cloud library sync — separate buyer stories with separate shop guides.
• Find My (different) — device location and lost-item tracking — not Photos Hidden album. Do not conflate Find My marketing with hide-from-library copy.

Your screenshots may show a Hide action beside a Locked Folder enrollment screen or a Clean Up erase canvas. Listing copy should name the correct surface per frame — a Hide photos context menu is not a Face ID unlock prompt, not a photobomber erase demo, and not a duplicate-group merge review.

What China buyers see when zh-Hans Hidden album copy is missing

Privacy-aware photo-app purchasers browsing the China App Store evaluate hide-from-library trust in the first scroll. Common failure modes when only en-US is filled:

• English title and subtitle — app name and tagline still Latin script while competitors show native Chinese Hidden album or 隐藏相册 positioning
• Untranslated Hidden badges on screenshots — overlay lines like "Hidden album", "Hide photos", "Hidden items", "Hide", or "View hidden items" remain English on zh-Hans gallery frames
• Hide value in English — description opens with US hide marketing ("Keep sensitive photos out of your main library") that China readers skim past or misread
• Keyword field still en-US — buyers search 隐藏相册, 隐藏的项目, 隐藏照片, or 已隐藏; an English-only keyword row misses China Search intent
• Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
• Calling Hidden album Locked Folder — machine translation that uses 锁定相簿 or 面容 ID 解锁 for hide-from-library frames when your gallery shows Hide toggles, not biometric vault UI — confusing buyers who expect 隐藏相册 copy
• Calling Hidden album Recently Deleted — 最近删除 fits trash recovery; Hidden album hero frames need 隐藏相册 or 隐藏的项目 vocabulary instead
• Calling Hidden album general photo library — 图库 or 相册 fits album-browsing marketing; Hidden album hero frames need 隐藏照片 or 已隐藏 vocabulary instead

Better zh-Hans listing copy helps privacy-aware buyers understand Hidden album value before install. It does not replace PhotoKit hide code, hidden-album integration, or Apple's review decisions.

Hidden album–specific listing copy — what translates differently

Hidden album listings use vocabulary general photo-library guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers describe Apple's hide-from-library surface — not a literal paste of US privacy marketing:

Hidden album & 隐藏相册

US pages use "Hidden album" or "Hidden." China's storefront copy often uses 隐藏相册 alongside the product name Hidden album where appropriate on album-grid and navigation frames under Photos → Albums → Hidden.

Hidden items & 隐藏的项目

List and count frames showing items already hidden from the main library appear frequently on privacy-app screenshots. Chinese buyers expect 隐藏的项目 for Hidden items grids and item-count badges — not English badges that hide what the app actually markets.

Hide photos & 隐藏照片

Action-oriented screenshots — context menu Hide, share-sheet Hide photo, multi-select hide — need verb phrases Chinese readers recognize. Frames should pair 隐藏照片 with the UI your gallery actually shows when users tap Hide on one or more assets.

已隐藏 — status and confirmation

Confirmation toasts, status badges, and post-hide summaries where items are marked hidden use status vocabulary. zh-Hans copy should describe that state with 已隐藏 when that matches your English source — without inventing passcode-lock claims your listing does not support.

Hide vs Unhide action pairs

Many Hidden album marketing screenshots show both directions — hide from library and restore to library. zh-Hans caption lines should name the workflow step the frame shows: 隐藏 for hide actions, 取消隐藏 for unhide — not English "Hide / Unhide" pasted through machine translation.

Subtitle and keyword packing

The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need Hidden album–relevant search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 隐藏相册, 隐藏的项目, and 隐藏照片 each signal different intent from 锁定相簿 Locked Folder keywords or 清理照片 Clean Up keywords.

Before / after — Hidden album listing phrases (en-US → zh-Hans)

Concrete examples AppLocale rewrites from your English source — not Locked Folder vault or Clean Up object-removal copy:

• Screenshot caption — Before: Hidden album → After: 隐藏相册
• Description line — Before: Hide photos from your main library → After: 将照片从主图库中隐藏
• Subtitle (30 chars) — Before: Hide photos privately → After: 隐藏照片，私密整理
• Screenshot caption — Before: Hidden items → After: 隐藏的项目
• Screenshot caption — Before: Hide photos → After: 隐藏照片
• Screenshot caption — Before: View hidden items → After: 查看隐藏的项目
• Screenshot caption — Before: Hidden → After: 已隐藏
• Keyword field — Before: Hidden album,hide photos,hidden items,private photos,hide from library → After: 隐藏相册,隐藏的项目,隐藏照片,已隐藏,私密照片

Final phrasing depends on your English claims, Hidden album surfaces on gallery frames, and Connect character caps. See Screenshot captions in Simplified Chinese for overlay mechanics.

Common mistakes on Hidden album zh-Hans listings

• Assuming Hidden album integration localizes automatically — hide-from-library UX ships in the app; zh-Hans row never added or left blank
• Only translating the description — subtitle, keywords, and Hidden album screenshot caption lines still English
• Conflating Hidden album with Locked Folder — 锁定相簿 fits passcode-protected vault frames; 隐藏相册 fits hide-from-library toggles
• Conflating Hidden album with Recently Deleted — 最近删除 fits trash recovery; Hidden album needs 隐藏的项目 copy
• Conflating Hidden album with Clean Up — 清理照片 fits object removal; hide-album frames need 隐藏照片 vocabulary
• Conflating Hidden album with Duplicates — 重复项目 fits duplicate merge; Hidden album needs 隐藏相册 copy
• English Hide badges on zh-Hans screenshots — Connect caption fields are Chinese but burned-in badges on PNG exports are still Latin
• Claiming Face ID lock in listing copy — product-page copy should describe hide-from-library benefits your English listing actually claims; do not invent biometric vault sync unless your gallery shows Locked Folder UI
• Expecting AppLocale to implement PhotoKit hide or hidden-album APIs — asset-hiding engineering is outside listing rewrite

Connect checklist before you order Hidden album listing copy

1. Confirm China under Pricing and Availability — storefront enabled if you intend to sell there
2. Confirm which Hidden album surfaces your app markets — Hide action, Hidden items grid, album navigation, unhide restore — listing copy must match your gallery frames
3. Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — note whether the zh-Hans row exists and which text fields are empty vs English placeholder
4. Export current English Hidden album marketing copy — current en-US title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and every screenshot overlay line ("Hidden album", "Hide photos", "Hidden items", "Hide", "Unhide", "View hidden items", "Hidden")
5. List screenshot frames that show Hidden album UI — note which gallery images show hide menus, Hidden album grids, or 已隐藏 status so caption lines match frame order
6. Separate listing from in-app hide strings — listing rewrite does not cover confirmation toasts or album labels rendered inside the app after install
7. Distinguish Hidden album from Locked Folder or Clean Up frames — tag which overlay lines are hide-from-library vs passcode vault vs object removal so each caption gets accurate zh-Hans scope
8. Plan caption re-export if text is burned into PNGs — Connect caption fields help when overlays are editable; English baked into image files needs design rework outside AppLocale

What AppLocale delivers

For one Hidden album–themed app on the zh-Hans row, paste-ready Simplified Chinese copy for the listing fields you specify:

• Title (name) — zh-Hans app name within Connect character limits
• Subtitle — Hidden album or hide-from-library phrasing within the ~30-character cap
• Keywords — comma-separated zh-Hans search terms with rationale notes (隐藏相册, 隐藏的项目, 隐藏照片, 已隐藏 as appropriate)
• Description — buyer-readable body copy aligned with your English Hidden album listing meaning
• Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
• Screenshot overlay / caption lines — zh-Hans replacements for "Hidden album", "Hide photos", "Hidden items", "Hide", "Unhide", "View hidden items", 隐藏相册, 隐藏的项目, 隐藏照片, and 已隐藏 frame text
• English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on hide-from-library promises
• 24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake

Human rewrite from your current English Hidden album listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope is Connect listing metadata; bundle additional caption lines via the AppLocale product page if needed.

FAQ

Does shipping Hidden album or Hide support auto-fill my China App Store listing?

No. Hidden album enrollment, hide-from-library toggles, and PhotoKit hide behavior control runtime library organization — they do not create or fill a Simplified Chinese localization row. If zh-Hans name, subtitle, keywords, description, or screenshot caption fields are empty or still English, the China storefront falls back to en-US copy.

Which App Store Connect fields does AppLocale rewrite?

Paste-ready Simplified Chinese for listing fields you specify: app name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines such as Hidden album, Hide photos, Hidden items, 隐藏相册, 隐藏的项目, 隐藏照片, and 已隐藏 — rewritten from your English originals.

Does AppLocale implement Hidden album or PhotoKit hide APIs?

No. AppLocale rewrites App Store Connect listing metadata and screenshot caption text only. PhotoKit asset hiding, hidden-album enrollment, and in-app hide-unhide engineering are outside AppLocale scope.

How is this different from Locked Folder, Recently Deleted, and Clean Up pages?

Hidden album listing copy covers Photos → Albums → Hidden — Hide photos, Hidden items, hide-from-library organization on gallery frames. Locked Folder copy covers passcode-protected vault marketing — Locked Folder listing (zh-Hans). Recently Deleted is trash recovery — contrast only, not a separate hero page here. Clean Up copy covers object removal — Clean Up listing (zh-Hans). Each surface has a separate guide.

Why do my Hidden album screenshot captions still say Hide photos in English on China?

Screenshot overlay lines and caption fields are per localization in App Store Connect. If you never filled zh-Hans caption fields — or pasted English into the Chinese screenshot set — China buyers see Latin script on frames meant to signal 隐藏相册, 隐藏的项目, or 已隐藏 value.

Should zh-Hans copy use 隐藏相册 or 锁定相簿?

隐藏相册 and 隐藏的项目 fit Hidden album hide-from-library marketing. 锁定相簿 fits Locked Folder passcode vault frames — related privacy vocabulary but a different product story. AppLocale picks phrasing that matches your English claims and screenshot frames.

What do I send after AppLocale payment?

Your live App Store listing URL, current English (or partial zh-Hans) name, subtitle, keywords, description, screenshot overlay lines with frame order noted, which frames show Hidden album hide or unhide UI, and target locale (zh-Hans). Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.

Will zh-Hans Hidden album copy improve China rankings?

We do not guarantee ranking, browse placement, or download lift. Complete zh-Hans metadata helps users who already find your page understand hide-from-library value in their language — it is not a placement hack.
