To save storage, I uploaded my photos to photo iCloud, but three of my families devices are hooked up onto the same iCloud account, so all of their photos went onto my device as well as my own. Is there any way my photos can be in the cloud without me getting their photos on my device? If not, how can I leave iCloud and keep my photos but not theirs on my device?
iPhone 8, iOS 13
Hello,
Sharing an Apple ID is a very very very very very very bad thing. Not only are your photos being synchronized, your text messages, telephone calls, contacts, calendar data, reminders, etc. are all being shared. There is no easy fix to what your issue is.
I recommend that everyone gets their own Apple ID and someone sets up Family Sharing to share purchases and iCloud Storage.
