Not sure why this is or how it happened. But my entire photo library from my MacBook is on my wife's phone. Not my camera roll, the albums I have created on my Mac. If I take a picture on the phone, it doesn't show up on her phone. She wants me to take the albums off of her phone, but I'm not sure how they even got on there. I have the albums on my phone as well, but I don't mind them. Not sure how to keep them on my phone, but take them off of hers.

Are you using family sharing? The shared family album could be transferring photos, but you would have to have added them to the shared album.



Or have you been syncing your wife's iPhone with your mac by connecting it to a USB port?

Is your wife using the same AppleID for iCloud as you are using?

If you are both using the same AppleID and have enabled iCloud Photos on her iPhone and your Mac, then the photos Libraries will be kept in sync on both devices.


Then she should disable iCloud Photos on her iPhone, or your Photos Libraries will be in sync and identical.
