Weirdness on my Samsung

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, I took a picture within viber of our Christmas tree and sent it to my sister. I put the phone down and came back a few minutes later to get a reply from sister saying she didn't know what the picture was about. I looked at the picture and it was a picture of two young fellas. I clicked on the picture to enlarge it and it was my Christmas tree! When my sister enlarged it, it was still the same picture.

    Could my phone be open to receiving pictures randomly from other devices? I transferred all my pictures and videos to my laptop recently and there were loads of selfies of my nephew that he would have taken on his tablet.

    Any thoughts?

    Clashing filename / cache name maybe? Try clear your Viber cache (Settings > Apps > Viber > Force Close / Clear Cache and try again.

    I don't get it though. Why would other peoples pictures be on my device? It's a little worrying.
