Photo that isn’t mine uploaded to my iCloud album

Thanks for those additional details. Based on what you describe, that photo might have been AirDropped to you. But we understand the concern with any security safeguards in place that would give you the opportunity to accept or allow an AirDropped photo.

We're glad to hear you've already reset your Apple ID login and checked for any unusual activity on all your devices. From this point forward, we'd recommend connecting directly with our support teams to look into this concern further. You can reach them here:

Hey Tilliebee,

We understand you've got a photo in your iCloud photo album which you don't recognize. If you're not seeing any unknown devices associated with your iCloud account it's difficult to say where it could have come from.

Are you perhaps in any shared iCloud albums? Where specifically are you seeing this unrecognized photo? Is this in your Library or one of your albums? If an album, is it under My Albums or Shared Albums?

Lastly, if you do feel your Apple ID and iCloud account could be compromised, check out these steps: If you think your Apple ID has been compromised

Let us know what you find out.

Take care!
