[Feature]: Private photos which do not show up in timeline

[colin715]

Feature detail

I would like the ability to mark photos as "Private", which would cause them to be hidden from the main timeline view. You could then have a "Private" section on the sidebar which would house all of these. Ideally, you would still be able to add private photos to an album and would be able to see the photos if you click on the album. If all photos in an album are private, there should not be a thumbnail for that album.

Platform

Mobile App

Would be great to be able to create an album as well that doesn’t show up in the timeline

I really like this suggestion, as I would put all of my "private" photos into a specific album anyways so it would eliminate a step.

I would love to see this as a feature in the future!

It's almost like archive feature in Google photos. So, yeah, it would be nice to see something like that

Additionally it could maybe be password protected or something like that?

Archiving has been implemented on web and mobile in v1.54.

IMHO, archiving is not the same as private. Archiving is for stuff that I don't use, but don't want to delete. Private is for stuff that I can not risk showing someone by accident (like "NSFW photos" or valuable data).
Sure, the feature is the same, but 2 different objectives. For the private section on mobile, I would even add a fingerprint unlock, while the archive is just random stuff.

I'd like also to open again this feature requests, as others have said it's not the same to have archived photos (that at some point could be deleted). "Private" photos are valuable, but you don't want anyone else to see them (for whatever reason) or visible in the timeline.

Photoprism has this funcionality separated from the archived photos: https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/organize/private/
