iPhone Help please - photos!

I've just plugged my phone into a MacBook to sync the photos (it's DHs old comp) and it's somehow mixed up all our photos! All of both of ours are on both the computer, and his phone!

How on earth did this happen and how do I get the photos back off his phone?

We have our own separate Apple IDs.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd be so grateful.

If you unsync your phone with that computer will it remove them?

I imagine that the laptop was logged in with your husbands ID hence your pictures being transferred onto his account

Now they are there I think you may have t manually delete them all

Argh I've literally spent hours trying to fix this today!!! No luck at all 😰 and there's nearly 3000 photos I downloaded!

Yes it looks like at one point his Apple ID was logged in on there - I'm not sure why it didn't 'realise' it was my phone and not his but maybe that's just how it works. He's made sure he's not logged into the computer on the ICloud, but the photos are still on his (work!!) phone and I can't work out how to get them off as they're all muddled in with his.

What a total nightmare.
