Random Photos

[SuspiciousMind]

Does anyone have random photos you didn't take show up in your recent folder? Not sure if it is a Verizon thing or a Google backup issue. I even have a video of their lunch at a cafe. If I can see theirs, can they see mine?

Random photos appearing in your recent folder may indicate a Google Photos backup issue or account mix-up. Check your Google account sharing settings and ensure no one else has access to your account.

Thanks. I checked my google photos and I can only see my photos not the random ones in my recent photos folder. My Google photos are not shared with anyone. Could they have accidentally shared with me?

Speculation, but if you have a phone which you can circle or tap on an image and it goes to a search engine to give you information on whatever you highlighted in the picture, maybe it's a cached photo in your browser?

The pics are mostly screen shots of bitcoin trading or something with a few restaurants I have never been to. Thanks

If clearing your browser cache doesn't do the trick, I'd check your Google Account (not Google Photos) settings and make sure nobody else has access to your Google Account.
