We have a family shared iCloud. One of my family members can see my photos and videos in his devices. How can I stop it?

iPhone XS, iOS 13

Greetings gugan64,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand you're part of a Family Sharing group, and another family member is able to see your photos and videos on their device.


Photos and documents stay private when sharing an iCloud storage plan with your family, as outlined in the following article: Share an iCloud storage plan with your family - Apple Support


"When you share a storage plan, your photos and documents stay private and everyone keeps using their own accounts with iCloud—just like when you have your own storage plan. You simply share the space available in the iCloud storage plan with your family members, so you only have one plan to manage."


Is it possible a family member is signed in to their device with your Apple ID? If so, then it's expected behavior for the photos to be displayed across all devices using the same Apple ID when iCloud Photos is enabled. Check out the information within the following articles: Use your own Apple ID for Family Sharing - Apple Support & Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support


Additionally, check if the photos and videos are part of a Shared Album: Use Shared Albums in Photos - Apple Support


Kind regards.
