Overview

• Apple's iOS 17.5 update caused old deleted photos to resurface on some devices.
• The issue was traced to a corrupt database entry on the device itself, not iCloud.
• Apple's iOS 17.5.1 update fixes the bug but requires users to manually delete reappeared photos.
• Only a small number of users were affected by this rare bug.
• Apple assures that no one else had access to the resurfaced photos.
