Photos appear on wife’s iPhone

My wife and I have different Apple accounts and yet my iPhone photos appearing on her iphone. How and why, plus how can we have independent iPhoto collections?



iPhone XR, iOS 18

Looks like nobody has responded to your query. I'll take a stab at it.

Could we check a few things?

Your iPhones are signed into different Apple Accounts for Photos, correct?

Do you have a Shared Library enabled and is your wife subscribed to it?

Do you have auto-add-to-Shared-Library enabled?


Three "yes" answers would explain what you are seeing. Turning off auto-add would be a step toward separate collections. Turning off the Shared Library connection at either end would be a stronger one.
