Did you have any deleted photos reappear on iOS 17.5? Are they gone in iOS 17.5.1?

[@MakZakk]

nope

[@Ron.from42]

That didn’t happen to me lol

[@naeshauntae]

I didn’t have this issue.

[@QuantumScribe]

apparently, the bug only happened if you were using the Files app to save photos.

[@Paigeharries94]

No

[@Ash-cn5cr]

Thank you for the detailed explanation on this bug!

[@Jechoniah]

Thanks for clarifying this update.

[@michaelkahn3694]

Appreciate the explanation as always Brandon!

[@ZDHLHMN7062]

Thanks for the information

[@sonictonic_]

Thank you as always Brandon! Especially for clarifying the bug itself, because to regular people (like me) that was pretty damn scary!

[@640A]

4:11 I'm glad you addressed this post because I thought this was impossible if you do a Factory Reset!

[@user-ff7be7qd9t]

I didn't understand because I'm Korean. Doesn't this bug appear when I reset it?

[@jennyalford205]

Thank you Brandon. I watch your page every time there an update. You give to most accurate information about Apple updates.

[@732media]

Hope this also fixes the nasty CarPlay GPS bug. All GPS apps are unusable in CarPlay despite location settings set to precise. GPS is precise when disconnected from CarPlay

[@donovanmackson7947]

Thank you for all of your videos ❤

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.

[@EncaladaRicardo]

I really like your videos ... very informational and helpful!! Keep up

[@R0b3rtA08]

awesome! Let me know how’s the battery life going, just need to know before I update is all

[@viewer9997]

such a great update

[@karenc.3689]

Thanks

[@user-wz1kd4zg9b]

Will old photo’s go away again when they appeared?

[@degaunichaux]

Thank you❤

[@danfratamico]

Your audio always sounds great on my MacBook Pro. Which mic do you use?

[@Anto.B_Fr]

I had a similar problem where when I would add a photo I found on internet by holding it and pressing « add to gallery » it sometimes would not add it and would only appear after an iOS update ! It is mostly with heavy pictures (over 50Mb)… Maybe it is another re-indexing issue but if you have a solution that could help me not having to wait for an ios update to see the photos I downloaded I would be glad !

[@jesusthe4ourth]

So I have these 3 greyed out photos still and I’m still on ios 17.5. Whats gonna happen once I update to ios 17.5.1 will they reappear or be gone?

[@viewer9997]

so much improved

[@dstowe-bf5ik]

Thank You

[@beyourownak]

@BrandonButch Did you not experience the notification bug ? The notifications in the notification centre kinda slide off the screen and you cant even clear it unless you clear all notifications? or is it just me ?

[@AlexanderLindo]

Rock on! 🤘🏼

[@paulmaric2965]

Handy video Brandon! No, I haven't been affected by this bug. Still, I'm installing the update. Device updates are very important to install when available to keep your device safe.

[@IbrahimaDoumbia]

I don't know how Apple manages to put iOS through months of beta only to finally release it with bugs and fix them just a few days later! What’s the whole point then? 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@mathieuschmitt5289]

i have the same question about that because it very strange that it’s realize that the updates and updates are in beta during whole of months but when it’s official, we still have bug

[@IbrahimaDoumbia]

@@mathieuschmitt5289 ​​⁠ It’s a pretty recent phenomenon, it started with iOS 16 and so on. iOS is very messy these days, I think it’s time for a big overhaul from UI to system side. Tim, if you see this, it’s time to Cook.

[@UrAvgUserBrowse]

I guess Apple just didn’t notice it was there

[@MrWosull]

Its possible the bug was so rare that no one noticed it with the smaller sample sizes in a beta. Its likely that it required a full rollout with tens of millions of people installing it for anyone to actually experience the glitch and also notice it.

[@MartianMoon]

It's an insanely difficult thing to catch in beta testing when it only shows up on a super rare basis

[@matthewrgj]

I downloaded the update but the images that came back were not deleted, is that normal?

[@alexanderrauch7932]

Great that the Bug is fixed

[@luismigueldomingo5969]

You sir, earned a new subscriber today. Thank you for taking the time to explain this.

Greetings. I have iPhone 14 Pro Max. The most important photos are deleted from my iPhone before I backed up. Please help me how I could restore that deleted photos??

you too. 1st!

Thank you for the detailed video, may you push on addressing activating the dark mode theme in the iphone books application for pdf files, or show me how to do it if thats already available

[@CoachCooney]

I need this wallpaper in my life! Where can I get it Brandon? 🙏🏻

[@Randolph73]

Doesn’t Apple force some fringe wallpaper with this update which you can’t delete from your phone?

[@cubbylevi1764]

After this update my attention aware doesn’t work anymore. When I look at my phone, the ringer and alarms stay so loud. Any idea when they’ll fix this? I went from 17.4.? to 17.5.1. Thank you.

[@WayneKline]

Thanks for the quick update after this iOS release. In my case, never have I saved photos in Files. So this is not the cause in my case. Checked and verified.

[@creepyhobo5211]

Why do you always mention the modem firmware version? I don't get it...🤔

2:04 good to see someone not jump to talk BS about privacy concerns

Thanks for the video Brandon. I noticed this bug that hasn’t been fixed in a while: asking Siri to call someone on speaker, siri says calling (so and so) on speaker but audio calls on regular. Hoping this can be posted by you as Apple never responds to me lol

[@m9eleven]

Brandon why won’t my Keyboard allow me to tap in all caps ? I now have to hold the arrow as I type

[@sohailrx6105]

my hotspot option is not showing after update..what should i do?

[@Michael-hj3jg]

Is this going to chew up my battery like poki man or fis it for a 13 pro max?!

[@apuz13]

Do you know why the Apple Watch no longer detects gym equipment or outdoor running tracks since the latest 10.5 update?

[@rioschala]

I think the option was turn off by default. You can go to the settings of the specific workout on the watch and activate the option. I read that it was the solution if I’m not wrong though.

[@apuz13]

Hi Brandon, was wondering about the jpeg files you mentioned in our folder. I just checked and yes, I only have approx 10 of these. I was looking these over and I have no idea why I have these. Was wondering if I could or should delete these? Thanks for all the info you put out - appreciate it vm 😊

[@jumiko45]

How about mac os 14.5? I have been experiencing crash and auto restart. Specially after waking up from sleep mode

[@user-ff7be7qd9t]

I don't understand because I am Korean. Does this bug not appear after using my phone for 2 years and resetting it? I used my phone for 2 years and sold it

[@rick00770]

Thanks Brandon, I never had a problem , but just updated. Looks good so far. iPhone 14 Plus.😊

[@styl_propr]

I don't update my phone until I've seen your explanation, thanks B!

[@motomium]

How did photos end up in Files? Because to my knowledge this can only happen deliberately.

[@panagiotispappas1001]

My 15 Pro Max sometimes just stars overheating like CRAZY out of nowhere even though I’m not really doing anything, just sitting on social media with no background apps open. It just stars overheating really fast out of nowhere for no apparent reason. This has happened twice since the 17.5 update and I had to turn off my phone and put it on the fridge! It got REAAALLY hot and for what? Posting a comment on Tik Tok and scrolling through Instagram? Is anyone else having this issue?

[@harryinns1692]

Thanks for the explanation, should put the fire 🔥 out 😂

[@musashageer2500]

So it’s safe to update my phone now?

[@artfartzy]

I didnt know many put their photos in the files application? So for those that this happened to they must have had these photos in the files app also ?

[@Frostinium]

After updating i have major wifi issue's its not working anymore on my iphone 13 mini... very annoying pffff

[@nickac317]

The only issue I have been noticing is after updating to iPadOS 17.5, bluetooth would randomly become "unavailable" and disconnect from my headphones. Go back into settings and bluetooth is "unclickable" and says unavailable. Only way to fix is to reboot. Hoping 17.5.1 will fix this, as it's happening somewhat regularly (3x in the last 12 hours).

[@joshuapeters4599]

Wallpaper?👀

[@mariohume]

My Photos App still crashes every time I want to open it on my iPad Pro 4th generation….this release did not resolve it…

[@KeithBarnett]

My deleted photos that showed up were never in my files app.

[@theruggedtrucker3943]

When Will the IOS 18 Come out

[@kirtymistry410]

Instead I lost few videos from my photos app and I cannot see them in the recently deleted album. It’s definitely less than 30 days whle those videos are gone. Is there any way I can get those deleted videos back?

[@caroline_catbridges_kitty5384]

Unfortunately, no

[@lucastroisi7172]

Can you link the wallpaper?

[@caroline_catbridges_kitty5384]

It might be already linked in the description

[@PCJISNOW17]

Very confused on why people care if images you deleted appeared again like just delete them I don’t know if it happened to me didn’t bother checking cause I don’t care and also none of our photos and videos are being saved in files I checked mine and don’t see any of my pictures from photos app in their so not sure what your meaning.

[@phonedaft]

Can anyone tell me if they experience poor signal on iPhone 15 Pro Max? I’ve had the phone 2 months and I experience buffering all the time watching Tik Tok or KZbin,that I didn’t experience with my previous S23 Ultra? Wondering if it’s my specific unit or a known problem with iPhones.

[@deleonrood5728]

Ok but why old invoices were showing up if were already deleted permanently? 👀

[@CGingerbreadman]

I had a photo bug, but it wasn't deleted photos reappearing. I had 7 RAW images I took back in October that all the sudden decided they were taken recently and moved to the front of my recent photos. I took other photos that weren't RAW that day, and those were unchanged.

[@tonney1147]

Is battery heating while charging fixed? On iPhone 15 pro models

[@shelbymannion2936]

Overheating issues have always been a thing. My iPhoneX had overheating issues, my 12 has overheating issues. Even had overheating warnings pop up saying ‘charging will continue once device cools down’ multiple times.. they ran diagnostics on it, and they claimed they were NO overheating notifications in my analytics. In the summer, have to keep ice packs with me when I’m driving around for work due to my phone lagging so hard from the heat. They always try to blame the cases, even though they’re all otterboxes and apple cases 😂 like okay.. I keep a case on it for a reason. Accident prone doesn’t even come close to describing me 😂😂😂 if i come across a cooling case that’s successful I shall update you 😂👍🏼

[@donnythedasher811]

My photos been loading real slow (quality) and can’t really trim my videos and my phone has been crashing and freezing smh

[@B14-fm8df]

How's the battery 🔋 life ??

[@benmccarthy2568]

when is final cut camera coming

[@DieterFinkenzellerDE]

So, do they really store the photos and videos twice in two different locations: in the files app AND in the photos app? This would double the memory consumption for photos and videos on the device. Or is the photo app only storing references to the photos and videos in the files app? This would make totally sense concerning memory consumption and database corruption. And btw when syncing the photos and videos to the iCloud which source would be used: the files app or the photos app? And what about the device's backup in the iCloud? Doesn't this all lead to the conclusion that deleted photos where sent to the iCloud nevertheless?

[@lenohildago5515]

I also own an Android and I think yes, they do store another copy in your files and it's stored in a hidden folder named ".thumbnail" [you can show hidden folders in the File Manager settings app] which is usually located inside the folder where the photos/videos are stored but they are of low quality but still recognizable (that consumes less than an mb) and it should also be deleted when the original photo/video is deleted. This is still a privacy concern though, I don't know why these apple fans keep on defending the wrongdoings of this company

[@willscorner8423]

Since that update my iPad(10th. gen) tends to crash a while after opening apps after plugging in an USB stick and using data/media from it.

[@DriftShepard]

When to apple store today and turns out my iPad motherboard is on its way out it had nothing to do with the iOS 17.5.1

[@iamnooneno1]

I’ve a bug in KZbin where if I rotate screen it’s a tiny video in the corner

[@andrewchan793]

My iPhone home bar isn’t disappearing when I watch KZbin now. It happened after the iOS 17.5.1 update

[@janwastaken]

From 17.3 to 17.4 the battery life on my new iPhone 13 has gotten absolutely terrible. And I heard 17.5 was even worse than that… I won’t be updating unfortunately

[@levylol]

Battery life is much better after updating to 17.5 in my case. Previously, it was 15% per hour in idle, and now it operates like it did during the first few months. I thought, It couldn't get any worse! :D so I updated it and now it works well.

[@shelbymannion2936]

What about the battery life!? My max battery life has dropped to 88% vs 98% prior to the iOS 17.5 update… Battery updates please?? 🙏🏼

[@madaragaming6738]

What about battery life ?

So I went ahead and deleted my old pictures and videos and checked in find out if they reappear turns out it’s fixed and I’m glad Apple did fix it 😂

[@eduardstefan6833]

It's amazing how people were twisting information to make it sound like it was more problematic than it actually is. There were so many people claiming it happened to them with other devices or devices they sold and so on, but we need to remember this is the internet, and many people are spiteful, and they will invent lies and twist the context for any extra virtual points they can get.

[@BillSmithBSartist]

How do they get into the files app to begin with? I’ve discovered numerous times, including today after I read about this, screen caps in my downloads folder under the files app that I did not put there. And, yes, they had been deleted from my camera roll. It happens only sometimes and I can’t figure out why. I did not put them there. An article published today says “When you download, share/receive, or take a screenshot (Mainly Safari screenshots) on your iPhone it sometimes (Depending on different factors) saved to both the “Files” and “Photos” app.”

[@paulstejskal]

You have to put them there. For example if you long press an image and push download it will go to the downloads folder.

[@BillSmithBSartist]

@@paulstejskal Not true. A 9to5 Mac article published today said: “When you download, share/receive, or take a screenshot (Mainly Safari screenshots) on your iPhone it sometimes (Depending on different factors) saved to both the “Files” and “Photos” app.”

[@ananyosingh6217]

Everything’s ok but the photos that appeared in my photos library were not at all saved on my iCloud cuz the photos were from a trip me and my fam took in 2021 and each year I download all the photos from iCloud and move them to my ssd . I even double checked if there are any photos of back from 2021 in my files app right now . There’s nothing in my files app except some docs . Also there’s one more thing , some of images which I scanned using iphone and saved them in the notes app got downloaded sequentially in the downloads section of files app . I just noticed it now while checking for those photos that I mentioned earlier .
