Besides that sleight of hand, you can protect the contents of the app with a passcode or Touch ID. $1.99 Secret Photo Album Vault: Another app with a built-in camera (you can add photos from other sources, too). Secure it with a passcode or Touch ID and get break-in alerts with a photo of the intruder.
