My photos are appearing on my mom's iPad and iPhone

My pictures are seen on my mom’s iPad and phone. We are not on the same plan, not the same iCloud anything, no sharing settings set to share. My daughter’s pictures are seen on my mom’s devices too.

Are you on a family share plan? Or perhaps you've enabled photo sharing --> How to use iCloud Shared Photo Library on iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Also, when you open Settings > Your Name at the top - what is shown on your phone under your name and what is shown on your moms phone under her name in the same place for email, which is the Apple Account.
