Apple has addressed a "rare" issue that many iPhone users complained about after a recent software update. The tech giant released iOS 17.5.1 and iPadOS 17.5.1, just a week after its 17.5 updates. The update comes days after iPhone owners said they noticed pictures they believed were permanently deleted reappearing in their Photos library, including some NSFW ones.
In the description, Apple said the update "addresses a rare issue where photos that experienced database corruption could reappear in the Photos library even if they were deleted."
Users who have experienced the issue said they were freaking out to see content come back into their library after years of thinking they were long gone.
Despite the fix, there are still concerns about privacy and whether or not any of the deleted photos are actually gone.
"So they're just going to ignore the photos returning as a bug? It's just an oops?! That's not good enough. So are photos deleted or not? We want details not a note on an update screen," one user commented on Reddit.
