what exactly caused the Photos issue fixed in iOS 17.5.1. One of the big concerns users had about the bug was that photos were appearing from as far back as 2010. After all, they said, they used different iPhones then.

And the issue isn’t related to iCloud Photos; it’s due to the corrupt database entry that existed on the device’s file system itself, according to 9to5Mac, which explains: “According to Apple, the photos that did not fully delete from a user’s device were not synced to iCloud Photos. Those files were only on the device itself.

“However, the files could have persisted from one device to another when restoring from a backup, performing a device-to-device transfer, or when restoring from an iCloud Backup but not using iCloud Photos.”Apple also confirmed a claim made by a Reddit user that photos were reappearing on an iPad they’d sold on were false. The post has since been deleted.The Photos issue is certainly a concerning one, and the optics aren’t great for Apple.

Apple is keen to highlight that the bug doesn’t affect a lot of users, but those who are impacted should update to iOS 17.5.1 urgently. Once you’ve done so, you’ll also need to manually delete the photos that have reappeared. Unfortunately the photos will stay in the recently deleted album in the Photos app for 30 days—unless you choose “Delete from all Devices.”Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
