Apple’s iOS 17.5 brings back deleted images, videos on some iPhones: Report

Apple recently rolled out iOS 17.5 update to support iPhone models. Now, deleted pictures from years ago are reportedly popping-back on iPhones for select users after the iOS 17.5 update. According to a report by The Verge, multiple iPhone users have reported that after updating their iPhones to the latest iOS version, deleted pictures have started to resurface on their device’s gallery. Some also reported that older pictures are being shown in the “Recents” album.

Apple does allow restoring deleted images and videos, but the feature is only applicable to the media files that were deleted within the past 30 days. After that period, the files are supposed to be deleted permanently.
