Despite periodic removal of unwanted photos on my mobile phone gallery, new photos appear, mostly not of my taking but from unknown sources!
How can I stop this happening please?
Thanks for any/all replies

could be lots of different reasons - but here’s one possibility.
Do you have a WhatsApp account? The default setting in WhatsApp is for received images to be copied to your camera roll / gallery. If you’re a member of a WhatsApp group that you’ve muted (don’t look at) then the images would still appear in the gallery.Maybe there are other communications channels that work the same way.2 -
Thanks, but these images appear to be repeats which I have deleted before?0
