Share a vault with Hidy Vault Pro

Updated 22 October 2026 · By Hidy

Share one vault with someone you trust, using a private invitation.

Before you invite someone

Sharing is a Pro feature and uses iCloud. The owner needs a recovery phrase configured for that vault. Verify that the app reports an available cloud connection before creating an invitation.

Create and send an invitation

Open Settings, then Share this vault and Invite someone. Hidy creates an invitation phrase. Send that phrase through a private channel to the intended recipient. Do not publish it in a support ticket or a screenshot.

Want photos your iPhone passcode can't open?

Hidy Vault keeps photos, videos and documents in encrypted vaults that open only with a pattern you draw. No account, no Hidy server. Free for 3 vaults.

Get Hidy Vault

Join on the other device

The recipient chooses Join a shared vault on the lock screen and enters the invitation phrase. An invitation phrase is different from the vault's recovery phrase. Invitations expire after 48 hours.

Changes are not always instant

Cloud availability and connectivity affect when updates reach the other device. Check the app's sharing status and allow the cloud service to finish processing changes. Avoid treating a delayed update as permission to reset or delete a vault.

When you stop sharing

The owner can revoke access. After removal completes, the recipient stops receiving shared updates but keeps their local copy. Previously exported files remain outside your control. Revocation is not remote deletion.
