This is just spam isn't it? - iPad notification

Just after a sanity check. I don't think my dp is on any sites or anything or cheating. But a message was on his ipad screen as a notification. It was a woman saying nice to see you here, and sending link to a shared album. I'll try and upload a screenshot.
I clicked into it and it took me to shared album section of photos, and there was only this notification there, no others and no other albums shared with anyone I didn't know. Just a few saying whatsapp which look like pictures he has shared through whatsapp or people have shared with him - nothing dodgy in there at all.

I assume the same notification would of come up on his phone?

Thing is he didn't mention it, and normally when he gets stuff come through - hes had a few dodgy messenger things from facebook which are clearly spam, he has asked me whats this, is it junk? etc.
He must of clicked to decline I think though as a few minutes later it was gone from the ipad.

Has anyone else got stuff like this as a shared album request? I never have - only the odd email spam, but never like this.

I think its nothing, but also i'm thinking, what an odd way to send something unsolicited? The bit I've scribbled out is his firstname then a space then his last initial, but like a username - but not his full email address which an email address would've been what his itunes account username would be wouldn't it?

ignore the 3 weird black lines towards the bottom, that was me when I blocked out the address/name

Looks like spam to me OP. And I'm pretty suspicious

Of course that's spam! Don't give it another thought.

I’ve had invites like this on instagram regularly. They are all just random and I block. I can assure you I have never contacted anyone or anything so I’d assume the same for your partner.

OK thats good. I thought that it seemed like spam, but the bit about nice to see you here threw me a little.
He normally mentions when weird stuff comes in, but maybe he just clicked decline and forgot about it - like I would have done actually.
Thank you all for the sanity check :)

They all say stuff like that to try to get you to ‘accept’ and to think maybe you know them but they are very poorly written.

It's spam - I received exactly the same notification yesterday.
There are also no 28 year olds called Linda!
