Is it a site/app you actually use? 

No, I don’t it’s just happening everyday. I delete everyday but do not know where they are coming from or how to block.

@cherry76 - you're drip-feeding us with info, which is frustrating.  How about you tell us what apps you have installed, which ones you use, when the problem started, etc., rather than having people guess what might be the cause?

This is doing my head in. Do not know how to block, it’s from my gallery. I have not installed any recent appt.Is it from from the whats app?

WhatsApp automatically saves all of the photos you send and receive to your Android by default. 
looks like you are getting these from somewhere via whatsapp.

Does your Whatsapp get messages everyday with these photos attached?

No photos attached in WhatsApp. It’s just stored in my gallery

Wonder if the above might stop it?

Is it a WhatsApp channel you are unwittingly following?
Messages are held separately from chats. They are under Updates, next to the Chats button.
Just tried following something on my WhatsApp and I didn't get any images saved though.

Definitely this. OP has followed an WhatsApp channel that is sending them photos (probably an investment group/could be a scam) and their WhatApp default/channel settings are set to save to photo gallery. OP probably does not have WhasApp notifications on, so in unaware of the messages.

OP, open WhatsApp on your device and unfollow/unsubscribe from the chat/channel.

Do not have the option to inscribe. Will have to delete everyday.
