    Hi Klaud,

    I understand your pictures are showing up on your parent's iPhones.  That will happen if you are all using the same Apple ID.  I would highly suggest that your parents have their own Apple ID for the data on their devices (photos, calendar, contacts, etc.).  If for some reason you don't want to do that, make sure iCloud Photo Library is turned off on your parent's devices.

    How do I turn off iCloud Photo Library on just one device?

    You can turn off iCloud Photo Library on a single device when you follow these steps:

    • On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > iCloud > Photos and turn off iCloud Photo Library.
    • On your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud > Options next to Photos, then deselect iCloud Photo Library.
    • On your Apple TV (4th generation), go to Settings > Accounts > iCloud and under Photos press Select to turn off iCloud Photo Library.

    If you have Optimize Storage turned on, you might not have all of your original photos and videos on your device. To download the original photos and videos on your iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud > Photos and select Download and Keep Originals. On your Mac, open Photos, choose Photos > Preferences, then select Download Originals to this Mac. Then you can turn iCloud Photo Library off. You can also select the photos and videos that you want to download from iCloud.com.

     

    Apple ID FAQ

    Can I share an Apple ID with someone else?

    Your Apple ID should not be shared with anyone else. It provides access to personal information including contacts, photos, device backups, and more. Sharing your Apple ID with someone else means you are giving them access to all your personal content and may lead to confusion over who actually owns the account. To share iTunes & App Store purchases, photos, a calendar, and more with someone else, try Family SharingiCloud Photo Sharing, or other easy-to-use sharing features.

     

    Cheers!
