Apple fixes reappearing photo bug in iOS 17.5.1 alongside other iPhone improvements – you should install it immediately

Apple has rolled out a new software update to all iPhone users to fix a major bug. iOS 17.5.1 is now available for everyone with the best iPhones or iPads, and you should install it immediately. That includes the new iPad Pro and Air models. But iPhone users are the ones that are going to want to pay close attention.

The update fixes a serious bug that was causing deleted photos to reappear in the Photos app. Users were seeing photos they'd deleted as far back as 10 years reappear on their phone. And it got even worse. Some were finding their photos reappearing on devices they'd sold on to other people – even when it was being used with a different iCloud account.
