How is it that I can see other people's album when they send me a picture?

[AC Question]

When someone texts me a picture, in the top right corner of my screen, it says album. When I tap in it, I can see their entire album. Why? And can how can I stop them from seeing mine?

They're attaching the album (the folder the picture file is in), not the picture. Just attach the picture file.

Do you know the exact steps to just send the picture and not the entire album? I'm on a Galaxy 6. I'm sure the person doesn't realize they're sharing their entire album. Thanks!
