Q: Will another person get to see what i have shared in my icloud if wehave the same icloud id?

My friend uses my apple id.I had no idea that the photo storage option in icloud in my device was on.and yesterday i saw few photos i deleted from my camera roll in a album in my phone called 'my photo stream'

then i deleted all the pictures from there.and i disabled the option of icloud back up,and i also deleted the icloud account from my device.so can my friend see my photos that i deleted in his device now?or did he see them already?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

    How do I delete photos from My Photo Stream?

    You can delete photos from your photo stream the same way you delete other photos from your iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, then tap the trash icon or click Delete. On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, then select delete. When you delete a photo from My Photo Stream on one device, iCloud will automatically delete it from the My Photo Stream album or view on your other devices. Learn more about deleting photos.

    Note the the other person has to be connected to wifi for the PhotoStream photos to be deleted. Also, the other person could have copied the photos to another play/emailed them when they were still in the PhotoStream.

    if both the devices are connected to wi-fi...and i take a picture on my device,and it is in the photo stream.so is it obvious that the same photo will also appear in the other device that has the same icloud account?and what if the photo back up option in the other device is turned off?

    What do y mean by "what if the photo back up option in the other device is turned off?"?

    The backup fo the other persons iPod does not include PhotoStream photos

    I know im bothering a lot.but its the last question just to be sure
    I didnt see any of his photos in my photo stream so that means his photo stream option was not turned on.cause if he can see my photos i could have seen his photos as well.right?
    Thanks a lot for you r helo.i really appreciate it

    Yes you should be able to see his photos. From my reading if PhotoStream is turned off on his device your phtos shuld not go to his divice.

    Are they taking photos?
