Apple's iOS 17.5 update has inadvertently restored previously deleted photos and voicemails on user devices.

Users on Reddit report old media dating back to 2010 reappearing, raising privacy and trust concerns.

The reemergence of deleted files is suspected to be a bug stemming from the latest update.

iOS 17.5 introduces features such as anti-stalking for non-AirTag trackers and offline Apple News+ access.

The update also debuts 'Repair State', enhancing security against stalking and unwanted tracking.

Apple has yet to officially respond to the issues with restored files, but a remedy is anticipated in a forthcoming update.

The photo restoration issue follows recent iPhone alarm malfunctions, which Apple has recognized and vowed to resolve.
