Apple has released iOS 17.5.1, an emergency patch for a serious iPhone bug that caused deleted images to resurface
Apple only details what’s corrected in iOS 17.5.1, but it says it solved the issue of iPhone photographs I reported last week.
“This update addresses a rare issue where photos that experienced database corruption could appear in the Photos library even after they were deleted,
” the company said. “It also contains important bug fixes.”
The iOS 17.5.1 upgrade is unique because it arrived just one week after the iPhone maker launched iOS 17.5. The iOS 17.5 update was particularly significant because it addressed several critical security problems, including concerns with the iPhone Kernel, which is at the heart of the iOS operating system.
However, it produced many issues and may be regarded as Apple’s most unstable iOS 17 update. The problem of photographs in iOS 17.5.1 was a huge privacy concern, so Apple worked rapidly to resolve the iPhone bug.
Other Bugs Fixed in iOS 17.5.1
Another issue with iMessage activation may be resolved in iOS 17.5.1. Since upgrading to the current software, several iPhone users have reported that their messages are stopped on “waiting for activation.”
Users of iPhones have identified Siri, Apple’s voice assistant, as another area for improvement in iOS 17.5.
Users on Reddit report that Siri cannot play playlists from the Music app, preventing them from enjoying hands-free listening. Hopefully, the problem has been resolved with the iOS 17.5.1 version.
