How is Photo Vault different from the Hidden album on iPhone?
The iPhone Hidden album is already useful for removing selected photos from the normal library view. On current iOS versions, it can also be protected by system authentication.
PrivateProScanner Photo Vault serves a different purpose rather than simply duplicating that feature.
The vault is a separate space inside a document-focused app, where selected images are stored locally in encrypted form rather than remaining part of the ordinary photo-library workflow.
That can be especially useful for document photos, work images, and private material you want to organize separately from everyday photography.
Access to PrivateProScanner can also be protected with system authentication and an optional PIN.
In practice, this creates a deliberate boundary between normal camera-roll browsing and a private archive you open only when you intend to access it.
The original image is still under your control: adding it to Photo Vault does not automatically delete the copy in Apple Photos.
For many users, the Hidden album will be enough. Photo Vault is for people who want a more separate, document-oriented privacy space.
