Unknown photos appear on IPhone possibly through WhatsApp Over the last few days some screen shot type photos have appeared in my photos app that I have no idea how they got there or where they are coming from. The info for each photo says they are saved from WhatsApp which I almost never use. Almost all of them are like this photo below. I have since delegated the app and changed my password.

Unsolicited (CRYPTO) photos in my private photos on my iPhone. I see encrypted photos on my phone that I didn't take. How does this happen?? Photos appear in the Photos app that were not taken by me or sent to me. These are crypto pricing photos, along with a few pictures of couples I don't know. The same thing happened to me on November 17. Since then I deleted the crypto junk photos, but they reappeared after 1 week. I restricted access to the programs and deleted e.g. the Binance app. The photos appeared again yesterday. Now I disconnect the internet from my phone, do they still appear? I read on a forum that this happened to someone else. Does Apple already have a solution to this spam infection?

Interesting. If you press and hold on it, are the offered options about an app or a bookmark? It may be the iCloud Photos website, just added to your Home Screen.
