How to hide files from appearing in media browsers (Music apps, galleries etc.)

First, you need a file explorer that can view hidden files (I suggest ES File Explorer)

Enable the option to view hidden files. Once you've done that move all the pictures and songs you want to hide into a folder and put a dot before the name. E.g- .notporn

Congratulations, now they're hidden and the only way to find them is to go to wherever you placed them on your system in a file explorer (If you wanna take the extra step then move the folder somewhere unorthodox and random. However, do not place it in an app folder because if you uninstall the app it will delete your folder with it)
