What's even more worrying is that the problem not only affects the user's own device, but also the second-hand device that has already been sold.
A netizen reported that in September 2023, he erased all information on his iPad and sold it to a friend in accordance with Apple's official guidance document.
After this friend upgraded his iPad to iPad OS 17.5 this week, he actually saw the old photos of this netizen in the album.
Netizens said that this is simply a serious invasion of privacy.
On May 16, Apple's customer service technical consultant responded that it did receive user feedback related problems, but the specific reasons are still under further investigation.
Let's take a look at what everyone is saying!
Netizen comments

I've upgraded, and the photos from many years ago have actually been restored to me, but it's just a few photos
Write at the end
For users, this "photo resurrection door" problem is undoubtedly a big trouble.
Many people will follow the official guidance to completely erase the device information before selling their old device to ensure privacy and security.
But now, after upgrading the new system, old photos have appeared, which makes people have to question the data security of the device.
Some users have said that their pre-owned phones have recovered their previous owner's photos after the upgrade, which makes them feel very upset.
After all, no one wants their privacy to be inadvertently leaked.
As a world-renowned technology company, Apple has always focused on protecting user privacy, but this situation has obviously brought great trouble to users.
What can users do about this?
First of all, if you have upgraded to iOS 17.5 and found this problem, it is recommended to contact Apple customer service as soon as possible to report the specific situation.
Secondly, for users who have not yet upgraded, the upgrade can be temporarily postponed and wait for further investigation and repair by Apple.
For used devices that have already been sold, the original owner can contact the current user to remind them of the problem and negotiate whether they can temporarily withhold the system upgrade or wait for Apple to launch a fix before upgrading.
This incident is also a reminder that we must be careful when disposing of old equipment.
While it may seem safe to follow official guidance to erase device information, there may still be surprises in the actual situation.
Finally, we hope that Apple can solve this problem as soon as possible and give users a safe environment.
The development of technology has brought a lot of convenience, but it has also put forward higher requirements for privacy protection.
As users, we must not only rely on the protections provided by technology companies, but also be vigilant to ensure the security of personal information.
This "photo resurrection gate" incident has undoubtedly taught us a lesson.
It is hoped that through this incident, Apple can further improve the security of the system and provide users with more reliable privacy protection.
At the same time, we also hope that all users can stay vigilant when using technology products to protect their privacy and data security.
