Q: I used to share his Icloud account. Can he find out about my deleted pictures?

Hello,

i used to share my friend's Icloud account. Recently I deleted some pictures from my Iphon I would not like him to see, I disabled immediately my Icloud Photo Library and my photo stream, then I logged off an made my new own account. My question does he still have access to my pictures since he's still using that account because it is his? And if he ever wanted to recover his deleted photos will he end up recovering mine too?

thank you

A:

If the photos were uploaded to photo stream and/or iCloud photo library before you changed accounts, it's entirely possible that the account owner was able to see or still has access to the photos.

    Yes they were uploaded. But after I changed accounts I logged into his in my computer and I couldn't find my photos unless I logged in with his account and activated the Stream and iCloud Photo Library. Is there a way to prevent his access to my Iphone pictures? especially to my deleted photos, can he recover them if he tried to recover his?

    They were uploaded but I switched the deactivated iCloud Photo Library and Photo stream before I log off*

    Go to iCloud.com/Photos using their Apple ID and delete the photos. Then check for a Recently Deleted album and delete them from there.
