Question for iphone users

I found some photos on my boyfriend's iphone, in the camera album.
How would they have got there? Would he have taken them using the phone? Or could someone have sent them to his phone? Or could he have downloaded them?

Thanks...

All of the above are possible.

I don't think (although it may be technically possible) someone could have just put them there unless they had the phone unlocked. If by 'sent them to his phone' you mean texted or emailed then yes they could.

Thanks... So do picture messages go straight on the camera album??

No, you need to save them.

Oh right thanks

Shouldn't really be looking through someone else's stuff.

That wasn't the question.

When badgers sends me a photo on Whatsapp it ends up in my album....

FACT

I think that is a setting you need to have on? Could be possible on iPhone to have this.

It can cause some red faces etc....

Screenshots also end up there, as do mail attachments, if they are saved.

Maybe they were in his iTunes/ iCloud account already and were downloaded into the phone during a software update. Or if there is more than one iTunes account on a certain computer he might have uploaded them from it if it plugged the phone into it.

I'm thinking they were saucy

No, not saucy, just about 5 photos of the same girl.

Could well have come from the phone being synced to another computer, specifically being synced to that computer's iPhoto album. Confused the hell out of me when I found a bunch of photos on my phone that I took using my proper camera, but which I'd edited in iPhoto.

Doesn't that wipe all other stuff too though? Thought you could only sync with one computer... ?

My phone is full of all sorts of pictures of people, things and tits.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Let it go,that way lies madness.

I know and the stupid thing is that it was ages ago, well, a month ago at least, and I asked him about it at the time. I have trust issues, clearly.

Did you peek at his phone because you doubted/had trust issues already? If so, grill him about it, they won't go away...

If it was an accidental look... maybe leave it...

No idea, though I've never tried it on more than one computer tbf. I'd imagine there are options for sync/sync and overwrite/etc.

Would agree with letting it go though. Or at least thinking about why you're doubting him. I once had a girlfriend who spent the entire time suspecting me when I was up to the square root of fuck all. Made us both very unhappy, then broke us up for no reason that was based on fact.

I grilled him at the time!
I was only having a look at his photos because I wanted to see the new ones he'd taken in the snow.

I guess I'm doubting him because we're a long way away from each other at the moment...I have no confidence in my looks now and I see a lot of cheating going on around me. Last night I had a very realistic dream about him cheating on me.

IME it just adds stuff to your iphone contents- that's certainly the case with the g/f's iTunes music selection.

I expect that any digital picture has plenty of meta-data associated with it. There's probably app's / sites you can view data that's associated with the picture. There may well be a GPS tag with the picture and perhaps a reference to the device which took the picture.

All of that sounds like a lot of hard work when you could just ask a question though.

I did ask and he said she had sent them to him. However, I couldn't work out why a girl would just send loads of photos of herself to a guy. It's not something I'd do...but then I don't love myself.

So he was there when you were looking through his pics?

he was asleep.

As I'm now a grand-parent of a few years I'll say what my gran and grandad would say to me then. Hell mend you. Seems like you were raking around his stuff because you have 'trust issues' when in fact you seem to be most untrustworthy, going into your partner's private things when you have no right, and you've found something most likely entirely innocent but you'll never get over it. And not the first (or last) time, I'd bet.

I may be wrong. Don't take offence if I am.

Maybe...but if someone is cheating on me I'd rather know than waste my time. I don't have anything to hide and wouldn't care if anyone looked through my stuff.
