    cyber, 16 May 2024this answer all the questions about spying,thats why icloud... moreSome users also reported that they never used icloud to backup photos yet some of their very old deleted photos are coming back.

    It means whether you upload to cloud servers or not they will upload to their cloud servers irrespective of users choice. Just like google chrome private tab case, in which private tab was only in name but in reality Google ware tracking and storing everything.

    Best thing is to keep / generate only those things in your phone which you are ok with. (Never keep anything sensitive in an electronic device).

            Imagine believing you have full control of someone else's computers (iCloud/Google Drive). Kek.

              NSA/FBI glowie approved.

                All that "it just works" talk is ancient history. iOS has got as many, if not more, bugs than Android.

                  Nice new AI feature:
                  -Siri, show all my deleted photos, please.
                  -345 Results.
                  -Siri, I mean ALL my deleted photos, please.
                  -786 results.
                  -Siri, I mean ALL!
                  -You have no rights to see the remaining 135 photos you deleted.

                    This shouldn't be swept under the carpet. We need more just a fix but an actual explanation from Apple. Users expect deleted data to be actually deleted but now it seems that is not the case.
                    So much for Apple bragging about how secure and private their ecosystem is😂🤦

                      Not in my case. I didn't encountered any issues since I updated my iPhone 🤷🏻‍♂️

                        Heh, imagine all those nudes that someone deleted comes back at the worst timing.

                          If this is true, it means that Apple keeps deleted photos at least for years.

                            Combine this little bug with OpenAI integration, and I'm honestly interested in the possible chaos our future "Siri" will do. Let "Her" be real.

                              But, but... what about all these people that was screaming that iOS is so private and secure.
                              I thought that apple wasn’t spying on its user like google. Now it turns out that apple keeps your deleted photos on there servers.

                                People are too naive to believe there is privacy in the cloud... not only your photos, your whole life are in their hands :(

                                    About what privcy you say, when someone gives his photos to corporate servers? Just don't use iCloud and uou won't face this issue.
