2 Apple ID’s, photos showing up on the work one

I have 2 Apple ID’s: One for personal stuff and my phone/computer/personal iPad, and another Apple ID for my business and the computer and iPad’s there. All of my personal photos are on all of the devices at the office, including a BRAND NEW iPad that I just turned on yesterday. As soon as I turned it on, it downloaded all my personal photos, even though it’s set up with the office’s Apple ID, not my personal one. I have spent days trying to figure out how to un-synch these 2 accounts and can’t figure out how my personal photos keep consistently reappearing on work devices when my personal Apple ID has never been input into any of them. Help!

iPad, iPadOS 14

Hello RelaxANPM,

It sounds like photos are syncing between your devices, and you want to stop that, correct? We'd like to help any way we can.

You mentioned that your business devices are using another Apple ID account; just to confirm, are the devices signed into another Apple ID account in the iCloud settings as well? This page has more information about signing in with your accounts: Sign in with your Apple ID

You can also use these steps to see where your accounts are signed in: Check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in

Since it sounds like the photos may be being synced using iCloud Photos, please check out this link: Keep your photos safely stored and up to date on all of your devices The previous link outlines how to manage iCloud Photos, and syncing.

Thanks!
