Apple's iOS 17.5 is reintroducing images that users deleted years ago
A bug in iOS 17.5 is resurfacing photos that iPhone users deleted years ago in the Photos app as the most recent images
"When in conversation with my partner, I went to send a picture and saw that the latest pictures were NSFW material we’d made years ago when we were living apart. It was permanently deleted years ago, but magically it’s back?"
"I checked my iPad and it also has pictures (some art work I did years ago). I feel so uncomfortable."
"Same here. I have 4 pics from 2010 that keep reappearing as the latest pics uploaded to iCloud. I have deleted them repeatedly,” says another user
Apple hasn’t commented on the problem, but it raises questions about privacy and data retention
