## Description

**Hide Images, Videos And Files** is a powerful Android app designed to protect your private media and files from unauthorized access. Without delaying your experience, it hides files by simply changing their extensions, preventing other apps from opening them.

Key features include hiding any media or file type from galleries and other apps, hiding and unhiding folders and their content in bulk, and opening hidden files directly within the app without unhiding. The app is secured with a password and optional biometric fingerprint login for quick access. It provides shortcuts to common folders like Camera, Downloads, and WhatsApp for easy management.

With a simple and secure interface, this extension ensures your confidential files remain private and accessible only to you. Remember to unhide all files before reinstalling or resetting your phone to avoid losing access to your hidden media.
