I see my wife's photos on my device

My wife and I have different Apple ID's. Suddenly I start seeing my wifes photos on my device. Her albums (i.e whatsapp, Instagram albums and I do not have Instagram). Strange is that this photos are not anymore in her iCloud

Hi matamulana,


To clarify, is this in the Photos app? Also, on what device are you seeing this? If you have multiple Apple devices signed into your Apple ID, do they all see her content?

Check your Apple ID device list to find where you're signed in - Apple Support


Let us know, as that will help us better isolate the issue. We'll continue based on those details.


Cheers!

Hello!

Yes, it happens in Photos app at my iPhone SE 2nd Generation. If I sign into my iCloud via pc, also I see all her pictures.

She did never entered her Apple ID at my device and this started to happen few months ago, at least is when I realized.

We use Family Sharing. I’ve contacted support and the solution was to manually search for my wife’s pictures (among 20K pictures), download them in the PC, delete them from my iCloud and upload them back to my wife’s iCloud, as she does not have them anymore at her iCloud.

Also happens with her albums. I have her Instagram photos album and I do not even have an Instagram profile, or the app.


Thank you!
