People are getting pictures that I didn’t take or send

About a month ago my friend told me she couldn’t open the picture or video I sent her (She has Samsung). I told her I never sent anything to her. She sent me a screenshot of her messages and sure enough there was a multimedia text from me to her but in my phone there was nothing. Today my sister (has an iPhone like me) asked why did I send a Live Photo of myself. I told her I never sent anything (I don’t even take Live Photos) to my disbelief there was a Live Photo of me in her gallery. (It was from an angle where the phone was clearly in my hand) BUT HERES THE SCARY THING there’s no trace of me having such picture in my phone. It’s not in my gallery or files it’s not in any sent texts to her. Why is my phone sending random phantom photos to people without me having evidence that it was taken or sent from me??? I’m scared thinking of all the people my phone sent random takes to without me knowing
