Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ Users say their phones show no evidence of sending out the photos and are only made aware when the recipient informs them about it. One user on reddit  wrote that his phone had sent his whole photo gallery while he slept to a contact who luckily is his girlfriend. It is still unclear what exactly is causing the random sharing which is ranging from a single photo to a whole gallery, but it seems to be caused by Samsung's latest texting app update which attempts to modernise SMS.

It’s common to speak of Instagram, the Facebook-owned photo-app-now-social-network, borrowing from Snapchat, but now Facebook’s WhatsApp chat app is increasingly drawing its innovation from others such as Telegram.
