Apple has recently released iOS 17.5.1 and iPadOS 17.5.1 to address a concerning issue that was affecting iPhone and iPad users. After downloading the previous software update, some users noticed that deleted photos were mysteriously reappearing on their devices, even photos that were over a decade old!
This unexpected bug caused a lot of confusion and concern among users, especially since deleted photos are supposed to be permanently removed after 30 days. Some users reported that the reappearing photos were not even stored on iCloud, leading to speculation that they were being restored from on-board storage.
In response to this issue, Apple acted swiftly by releasing iOS 17.5.1 and iPadOS 17.5.1 to fix the bug causing database corruption, which resulted in deleted photos showing up in the Photos library.
If you want to ensure that your device doesn’t resurrect old photos unexpectedly, make sure to download the latest software update by following these steps:
– Go to Settings
– Tap on General
– Navigate to Software Update
– Download the update
It’s reassuring to see Apple addressing this issue promptly and providing a solution for affected users. By downloading the update, you can prevent any unwanted surprises from haunting your device in the future.
