Apple has released iOS 17.5.1 software update, addressing an issue that caused deleted images to resurface for users after they updated their iPhone to iOS 17.5. In the release note for the new update, Apple said that the “rare issue” was caused as a few deleted pictures “experienced database corruption”, making them reaper in the Photos library.

After the iOS 17.5 release, multiple iPhone users reported that updating their iPhones to the latest iOS version brings back the deleted pictures on iPhone’s photos gallery. Some also reported that older pictures are being shown in the “Recents” album.
