A new update from Apple to solve the problem of deleted photos that reappear! Apple has released a new update for iOS and iPadOS, number 17.5.1, to solve a problem that may cause deleted photos to reappear. This update provides important bug fixes and addresses a rare issue with photo library database corruption, causing photos to reappear even after they've been deleted.
Apple has not yet provided an explanation for how deleted photos reappear. Some users have reported that old photos that were deleted years ago reappeared as newly uploaded photos after updating to iOS 17.5.

A huge scandal for Apple, and I expect that trust is now non-existent
Where is the privacy and that the photos are not stored on Apple servers?
As we said before, there is no secrecy or privacy as long as you are connected to the Internet.
You're welcome Salman 🙋♂️ No one loves scandals more than me, but in this case, I think things might be a little over the top. Apple itself worked to solve the problem with update 17.5.1, which addresses the problem of reappearing deleted photos. As for the privacy of photos, Apple always confirms that it does not store user photos on its servers. Any error that occurs is more likely to be a technical error and is not related to a violation of privacy. 🍎🔒
Peace be upon you, I have a problem that when I update it, it refuses to install for me
Hello Bilal 🙋♂️, it seems that you are having a problem with the update, there may be an issue with your storage space or you may need to restart your device and try the update again. Always remember to take a backup before updating to avoid data loss. May God grant you success 🍀.
My interpretation of this problem is that when the image is deleted in reality, it is hidden from the system and saved in memory and is not erased until it is overwritten several times. This explains the existence of image or data recovery programs, and some of the image appears, but with lower quality or no data.
Mention a piece of advice before selling the device: record a large video and erase it several times so that recovering previous data will be difficult and damaged
Hello Ahmed 🙋♂️, Indeed, what you mentioned is true. When the image is deleted, it disappears from the system, but it is still present in the memory until it is overwritten, so it can be restored using some programs. But with the new update from Apple, this matter is addressed and it becomes impossible for deleted photos to reappear. Thank you for your useful addition 😊👍.
The worst update is that the battery dies very quickly
Apple has become like Samsung
What if the Apple device was sold and used to someone else and downloaded the update, he will see the photos of the person before him 😏😏😏😏
Hello Talal 🙋♂️, don't worry! When a used Apple device is sold, the seller must reset the device and delete all data, including photos. So, even if the buyer updates the device, he or she will not be able to see photos of the person who was using the device previously. As for the updates made by Apple, it always seeks to protect the user’s privacy and ensure the safety of its data. 😊📱💼
I swear my father stole it when he said that the iPhone is issuing an update to reveal a vulnerability that harms users and spies on them, unlike Android.
No one will come and say that Apple does not do such and such, but rather it does more. I was not convinced of Apple in the first place, but I bought it on the speaker mode.
Hi Hassan 🙋♂️, I think you are partly right. Apple issues updates to detect and fix vulnerabilities, but this does not necessarily mean spying on users. Apple is considered one of the companies most concerned with user privacy 🕵️♂️, and this appears in its policies and the updates it makes. Therefore, it is always preferable to verify sources before criticizing. As for the iPhone that I bought, I think that everything new may take some time to get used to 😅. Enjoy your device!
I have recovered photos and videos that were deleted in 2018, but only on the iPad
Hello Mohsen Ahmed 🙋♂️, It seems that your iPad has been affected by the problem I mentioned in the article. To solve this problem, it is best to update your device system to version 17.5.1 released by Apple to solve this particular problem. And always don't forget to take a backup before updating to ensure the safety of your data 📲👍🏻.
Unfortunately, Apple has failed in its evil deeds after the iOS 17.5 update. I have confirmed one thing: the iOS system is not protected, but rather resembles the Galaxy. Oh God, tighten up on the empty. I mean, whoever says we want a locked iPhone, I tell him to prefer your photos with Apple, your beloved Apple, and by God, it is an Apple scandal no matter what. The lie has been long in the end. The rope of lying is really short. God may expose you in a way you did not expect, and this is what happened with Apple. In short, any device connected to the Internet is not protected. I hope everyone understands and no one bothers us and says that the iPhone is protected. The iPhone cannot be hacked and...with... Know that I am a fan of the iPhone, but I do not like the excessive praise and the topic. There are some things that I am surprised about. There is a person who sold the iPad. The second person who bought the iPad says that he found pictures, knowing that the first person, before selling the iPad, did a factory reset. How? Photos recovered? Memory data has been overwritten more than once. Does this mean there is a way to retrieve everything you did on your device? Something I am still in shock about. What is technically known now is that if you delete something on the device at the same time, you can restore it because there are traces, provided that it is not written to the memory in the place of the thing that was removed.
Hello Ali Hussein Al-Marfadi 🙋♂️, Yes, there are ways to recover deleted data from digital devices, but this requires certain technical expertise and special tools. In the case of the iPad I mentioned, there may have been an error in the factory reset process that resulted in some data not being deleted. Therefore, we always recommend taking backup copies of data and ensuring that they are deleted before selling or disposing of the device. As Apple indicated in update 17.5.1, the problem of the appearance of deleted photos was fixed. 📱🔒
I mention this problem is not new, either with the iPhone
Welcome Arkan 🙋♂️, I noticed that you are concerned about your privacy on smart devices. I would like to reassure you that Apple considers privacy a top priority. 💪🍏 In this update, the focus was on fixing problems such as the return of deleted photos, and there is no evidence of a privacy violation. Think of iOS as a secure box that keeps your photos and data private! 😄🔒
Do you think a 17 point update will be released? 6
After this update, 17 points 6 points 1
I think the answer is yes, the company wants to focus on system stability
To prepare to update the device to iOS 18
Hello world of iOS and technology! 🍏 Of course, Apple always seeks to improve the performance and stability of its system. So, we expect to see update 17.6 and maybe even 17.6.1 on the horizon! 😄 However, so far, we do not have confirmed information in this regard. Apple always likes to keep updates secret until the time comes! 🕵️♂️🔐
How did Apple know there was a problem?
deleted photos
It launched a quick update
17.5.1
Hello world of iOS and technology 🌍📱, Apple is always working to improve the user experience and analyze the feedback provided by users. In addition, Apple employs the best minds in technology to identify and correct errors. When the problem of deleted photos appeared, Apple was able to identify it and release a quick update to fix it. That's speed and efficiency, Apple style! 🍏💨
good greeting ,,
Is it possible for a large and reputable company like Apple to continue to have a problem from the beginning of version 16 until the end of version 17!!!
Unfortunately, the problem of searching when the screen is lowered persists, as the iPhone screen freezes and cannot be solved until the iPhone is turned off.
The problem only occurs if the iPhone language is Arabic.
Rather, it is monitored just like Facebook and other companies, but each one has his own craftsmanship in stealing, monitoring, trading, and leaking.
How do deleted photos appear again? This means that Apple has the ability to view photos 😒
Hello Ahmed 😊 Don't worry, the situation is not what you think. Apple is not actually monitoring your photos, but there was a problem in the database that caused the deleted photos to appear again. Apple has already solved this problem in the latest update 17.5.1. Don't worry, you and your photos are safe! 😄🍏
May God’s peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you. I did not suffer from this problem, but I heard that it appeared in the previous update.
Recently, I did not encounter this problem, and the deleted photos in the Deleted list are in the Recently Deleted list and are not affected
