My photos are appearing on another device and they are not shared

I've set up my old ipad with a new apple ID for my son. His account is not logged into the ipad and some of my photos appear in the photo app. They are totally random, not in a shared album.

If I delete a photo on the ipad it removes it from my phone. Any photos he has taken on the ipad do not appear on my phone.

How can I fix this??

You will need to properly reset and prepare the iPad for its new user - your Son.


Follow this process to fully erase the iPad for reuse by a different user:

After the iPad has been prepared, you'll be able to setup the iPad from the initial "hello" page using your Son's AppleID.
