receive unknown popup video

I have received several pop-up videos on Iphone 6 indicating "you have new video waiting for you". All of these videos are from my photos. Who is compiling and sending these to me? Are these safe?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Nothing called "My Photo Stream" exists, just Recents. Is Recents going away?? I've been receiving a lot of mail about "My Photo Stream" going away at the end of July. My iPhone Photos doesn't show anything called My Photo Stream, and my Mac iPhoto desktop app says "Library." It really drives me nuts when announcements come out and the nomenclature used doesn't match what is in the current apps. And it would have been super helpful if Apple had send screenshots of My Photo Stream along with all of their emailed announcements. The question: Does anyone know if this change matters and if what they're really saying is the Recent photos on my iPhone will no longer be working? Should I be scared or not? Thank you Community.

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?

Mysterious pictures added to my iphone photos I’ve seen previous post about User mysteriously found a picture in their iphone photos. I puzzled this morning when I see a total of 36 random photos on my phone when I didn’t capture or download it. I read that it might be some app like whatsup or other messaging app as the culprit. Automatic saving of photo to phone. But I don’t have any of this which makes me feel worry. Is my iphone 11 pro compromised? I checked the history of my apple account for possible devices connected but not found any just my unit. Anyone experience this one recently? Thanks!

I have NO apps installed on my phone whatsoever. Just use for texts and calls. I do take pictures, of course, but that's not an App. I only share pictures with my family - no one else.

iPhones cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware by merely clicking on a link in Safari, unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious softwares or unauthorised apps directly from internet and installed on your iPhone or/and have Jail Broken.

You need to look at the way you share your sensitive and valuable informations of your device with your friends and family members.
