Photos I did not take appear in my camera roll

This has happened twice to me this week. The first incident was last Thursday, I was looking through my camera roll (not photostream) and saw three pictures that I did not take. They were photos saved from the internet, as one of them was a 9gag meme. I was at the office that time so I guessed one of my officemates fooled around with my phone maybe. I didn't think anything of it. Then this morning, I woke up and found two more pictures on my camera roll that I didn't take. One photo was a picture of a windows desktop, which is weird because there aren't any windows computers in my household. Plus, I did not go out last night or anything, so my phone was with me the whole time. This is starting to worry me because this may be a security issue. Can a someone hack into my phone remotely and save photos into my camera roll? It's either that or I have a trigger happy alter-ego...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FINALLY somebody having the same problem as mine. Thank you for sharing that, made me feel so much saner! It recently happened to me again, but I noticed that the photos came from a group chat on the WhatsApp app i have. Apparently when I open the conversation, some of the photos get saved to my camera roll. But still, not all the random photos came from WhatsApp. There are still some photos that just "magically" appear.
I really hope some explanation can be made. I'm sure we're not the only two with this problem.

  • I have photos on my camera stream which I did not take

    TToday, photos have appeared on both my iPhone and iPad which I did not take. Nobody has had access to either but me and I didn't take them. I find it very worrying and would like to know how it happened. I've tried to contact apple but because I don't know my Apple ID I can't actually get to talk to anyone. Please can somebody help me?

    Call the Apple account security team for your country: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.  You will need you serial number to set up the call, which you can find on your device in Setting>General>About.  You can see your iCloud ID by going to Settings>iCloud and looking at the email address listed at the top to the right of "Account".

  • A photo just showed up in my camera roll that I did not take!

    A photo that I did not take just showed up in my iPhone 6 camera roll??  It's a photo of a dozen oysters taken at 11:06am. I am currently at work not eating any oysters! How did this happen?  
    And now for all of my photos, it is currently saying "This photo is not editable"???

    I haven't had this exact issue but I have a similar problem. Occasionally when I open my Photos app for a split second an old old (and deleted) photo will appear full screen, as if this was the last thing open already. Which is impossible because this photo has been deleted for months. It's always the same photo. very strange.

  • My new iPad camera just freezes up and dose not store any photos.  Also my photo folder did not populate from my backup.  Is anyone else had the same issue.

    My new iPad camera just freezes up and does not store any photos.  Also my photo folder did not populate from my backup.  Is anyone else having the same issue. If so what can I do to get the camera to take and store the picture.  I am running the lastest operating system version.

    If it says Not Enough Storage Space on iCloud then you can get more Storage space for iCloud if you want to backup more Data on iCloud Storage. You will find the Pricing for Additional Storage Space and how to Buy Storage Space for iCloud from your Device in the Link below.

  • TS4009 How do I clean up mail in my icloud?  I have already deleted old mail on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much roo

    How do I clean up mail in my icloud?  I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room).  When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room.  Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there?  If so, how do I do it?  Also, on a related subject,  why does my mail not sync accross all devices?   ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices?  How can I change this?
    I have an iphone5, ipad2, ipod 4th gen, ipod 3rd gen, all running on my same apple id - but I have a PC not a Mac home computer - is this part of the problem?  Looking to upgrade to a Mac sometime this year...
    Thank-you for the help!

    I do have the Time Capsule and spoke to Apple Care here in Sydney about it yesterday.  They told me my mail is not backed up there unless I create a special folder. I just tried ringing them again but Apple Care is closed today...
    Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule

  • Within the last hour, I noticed that my older MacBook Pro, while I was playing it in iTunes, lost contrast on the screen.  I am sorry, but I did not take exact notes on this event.  Around the same time, I did do a back up, uploaded software, etc.

    Within the last hour, I noticed that my older MacBook Pro, while I was using iTunes, lost contrast on the screen.  I am sorry, but I did not take exact notes on this event.  Around the same time, I did do a back up, uploaded Apple software, etc.
    I'm using two MacPros simultaniously, the old one for iTunes, and the new one for the other things.  My new one has no problems, so am wondering if there is an easy way to correct the older MacPro's contrast problems.  The computer is over three years old, and I'm wondering also if this failure is an aging sign.  (I also have other problems, such as a noisy DVD drive, which is part of the reason I bought a new MacBook Pro.)

    Is the older MBP a pre-Unibody model from early 2008? If so, it could be having this problem:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2377
    If so, you would be entitled to a free repair.
    The lost contrast could be considered distorted video.
    Do you have an external monitor? If the external shows the same lost contrast, the graphics chip is likely the culprit. If the external is OK, then you probably have an issue with the built in display or possibly with its connections.
    You may also want to check in Universal Access to see if the contrast bar is set in its normal position (all the way to the left).
    Apple has a special test they can run to diagnose the NVIDIA issue, so if you have access to an Apple Store, make an appointment at the genius bar to have it run.
    Good luck!

  • I had photoshop elements 8 installed on my previous computer and it did not work properly when it came to sizing  photos for a website I was adding to.  I now have a new computer which runs windows 7.  Is it worth installing it again on my new computer?

  • Why some photos in my Photos library did not upload to my iCloud photo library. Isn't supposed to be automatic?

    Why some photos in my Photos library did not upload to my iCloud photo library. Isn't supposed to be automatic?

    Is there something special about the file formats? iCloud Photo Library supports:
    JPEG, RAW, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and MP4.
    And no JPEG must be larger than 16GB.
    The photos will not upload, if the original image file is missing. Can you edit or export the photos, that did not upload?

  • Why last modified of photos library did not change?

    I have turned on iCloud Photo Library and have chosen to keep original in my Mac which I pointed it to a portable USB hard drive.  Then I back it up using time machine.  But the last modified of the photos library (checked using finder) did not changed even I kept uploading new photos.  Why is that?  In such case how can I ensure all the photos are back up by time machine?

  • I bought a iPhone 4 from USA in $749. As I did not take a data plan, still the phone is locked, now when apple is selling unlocked phone and I have paid the dull amount, will they unlock my phone

    I bought a iPhone 4 from USA in $749. i did not take a data plan, still the phone is locked, now when apple is selling unlocked phone and I have paid the full  amount, will they unlock my phone

    AT&T has not as of yet announced any plans to unlock an iPhone that was purchased as locked to them. Whether or not they will do so in the future, only AT&T would know, and they probably will not say unless and until they're ready to make an official announcement.  There is nothing Apple can do for you in this matter unless you are still within the timeframe for returning the iPhone.
