    Just set those photos/videos to private. This has been available for several years. Ensure full iCloud encryption is on and your good.

    I never logged into it so mine is not confirmed, it just says view icloud / shared but if you click on either, it asks for approval via phone. Is there no way to undue that?

      Also you put the photos in the hidden folder on your phone.

          Cool, so everyone will open that album. Try to give a different neutral name like “a day in the office” or “cooking lessons”

    Move the questionable photos to the ‘Hidden’ album and no one will be able to accidentally see them if they happen to view your photos using the Photos apps on the Apple TV. That’s why Apple created the ‘Hidden’ album.

        Then you have a different kind of problem.😬

      I honestly wish you could choose to search the hidden album. Either search from in it, or check a box in search, unlock biometric, and boom — included.

      I’d love to use the hidden album more but it’s a bit neutered once you start really filling it up.

      This is the way. Or just disable iCloud photos on your appletv entirely, as others have said. I do both.

      It’s a wonder more people don’t know/use this folder. 85% of Apple users just raw dogging the root save location.

    Just put that stuff in your hidden folder. Works like a charm

      Yes, unfortunately the hidden folder is neutered so you can’t search in it or anything or choose photos from it in an upload dialog or anything.

    There’s an option under settings to not allow iCloud photos. I’m with you, I don’t want anything from my phone to show on the TV lol.

    I believe you should be able to delete the app on the tv but if not you can put the questionable photos in the hidden folder on your phone/mac. That’s where all my sexy photos go and they are locked with Face ID
