Is there a way to check and see if someone has hidden apps and pictures on their phone?

Hidden pictures or videos can be harder to find. It depends on the skill of the person who hides them. If encrypted and renamed folder/file then not so easily found. Even if you find it you nay not know its a pic or video. A good android file explore will ask "open as" .

well going behind someone's back by looking into their phone is a invasion of one's privacy. what exactly are you trying to find?
Is that 'someone' your minor child?
Let me spell out the extremely short version:
Q: "Is there a way to check and see if someone has hidden apps and pictures on their phone?"
A: Yes. Numerous ways.
But if the device isn't your minor child's, you're going to need its owner's permission, and cooperation, to proceed.
Please advise.
