# Import Photos

## Let's protect

Log in to your Vault and select :heavy\_plus\_sign: in the bottom right. Tap *Import & Encrypt files*.

Privary shows all photo albums from your public phone gallery. Choose any album and tap on one or many photos you'd like to add to your Private Vault. Submit your selection with the *Import Button* at the bottom.

**Tip:** Press for a second on a album to start the album selection mode. This will easily import one or many selected albums.
{% endhint %}

### Some tricks

* Tap and drag on a single photo / folder to select multiple files
* Open a album and tap on *Import* without selecting a photo to import the entire album
* Press :heavy\_plus\_sign: from inside an already created folder in your Vault to directly import into this folder

**Top Tip:** Send a photo from any other app to Privary to import it directly. For example from Snapchat, WhatsApp or Facebook
