I have strange photos in my photo stream. Is my iPhone hacked?

Hi guys,

i have this problem. I'm living in Bali and yesterday i figured out that i have in my photo stream photos that aren't mine. First thing i checked if they can't come from some other app like whatsapp but i didn't find anything. It looks like that some other guy's iPhone photos are being synchronized with my iPhone. The location show island near Bali where i've never been. I checked my iCloud but there was only my iPhone registered. Anyway i still changed password and i thought everything will be fine. I was wrong. When i was writing message on Messenger, i realized something really strange. My most used smileys contained smileys i never use. So question is, what should i do to get rid of this and why is this happening? Is it possible that he might have my photos in his phone in return?

Some more info:

I never lost any iPhone

I never sold any of my previous iPhones

I never gave anybody my iCloud password

I have iPhone 6+, updated to latest iOs

The only time when i let my iPhone out of my hands was when i had broken display so i left it in local iPhone service for around three days.

Change your iCloud/Apple ID password.

That is very strange. The only way that is possible is through iCloud. If you have at any point signed into another device then that could be the only reason. I would recommend going into your iCloud account in your browser, then go to settings and double check there aren't any extra devices. If not I would book an appointment with the Apple store, hope this helps!
