Everyday I get 10 or more photos in my gallery that I did not take. Why am I getting photos from somebody else's phone? How do I stop somebody else's photos from popping up in my gallery? Galaxy s21

@Barnes08R6 Do you have your Gallery synced to OneDrive? Does someone else have access to that OneDrive?

Or could those photos be from an app that you are using? Some apps inappropriately allow downloaded images to show up in your Gallery.

Yes I believe my gallery is synced with my one drive.
No one has access.
Ok, I'll check the apps that send pics and videos.
Thank u

Are you using Galaxy Share? And check your quick share settings.

No, I'm fussy about my info or anything on my phone being shared.
Would Whatsapp be the culprit?

@Barnes08R6 Yes Whatsapp will share photos to the Gallery unless you change the Whatsapp settings. 

  1. Open Whatsapp
  2. Click the 3 dots in upper right
  3. Select settings
  4. Click on Chats
  5. Turn off the option "Media visibility"
