I'm looking for advice on how to secure my private photos and videos when I get my iPhone repaired. I usually back up everything to Google Photos, but I'm worried about some confidential content in a hidden folder getting transferred over to the repair shop. Is there a way to limit what they can access?

I've worked in tech repair for a while, and to be honest, most techs don't dig through your files unless they're really trying to find something. But it's always a good idea to take precautions. I recommend learning how to do your backups yourself. It's really not that hard and there are tons of tutorials online for every type of device! Trust me, knowing how to handle your backups is super important.
Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it. I’ll definitely look into this. I'm a bit worried about what happens when external hard drives become obsolete, though. Any suggestions on good products for backing up?
