Cut off an ex-partner’s shared album access

Leave or delete the shared album/library, remove the other person, vault anything you still need privately, and check that Shared with You is not resurfacing media.

Revoke

Photos → Albums → shared album → people → remove. For Shared Library, leave the library.

Local copies

Saving a shared photo creates a local copy—audit Recents afterward.
