4 of us share an Apple Music subscription.
The head of the family, was using a Samsung phone until today when he got an Ipad.
When we set his account up on the ipad, we went to the photos app (which he obviously didn't have on the Samsung) and all my photos were on his Ipad, even ones that I don't have anymore.
I don't have a shared folder in my photos so how is this happening and how can he have photos of mine that I've deleted a long time ago?

How to share albums in Photos on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac - https://support.apple.com/HT202786
That was probably enabled at some time and the person downloaded the photos to their personal iCloud space. One that is done they are "his" and what you do doesn't matter.
Thanks for the reply. I have changed the setting Shared Albums to off, I can't check if they'd still be there because I just created him a new apple id forvtge Ipad.
I still don't understand it though, yes, there's a shared album in my photos but it's never had any photos in it, it's always been empty. He didn't download anything either, they all just downloaded automatically when I set it up.
No never, it was a brand new ipad yesterday. My daughter was having problems setting it up so I did it when I went down and then they all downloaded into the photo app.
Like I said, he's the family organiser, previously on a Samsung and they don't show up on the other 2 members Iphones 🤷🏻♀️
Those are the only two ways I know of. They must have been shared previously or the other user's ID was signed into that device and the photos downloaded from iCloud.
Did you at any time, even briefly, sign into the iPad with your Apple ID?
