In response to a peculiar problem haunting users, Apple swiftly rolled out a minor update for iOS and iPadOS, aimed at quelling the resurrection of deleted photos within the Photos app.
Just a week after the rollout of iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5, Apple introduces version 17.5.1 for both systems, stepping in to rectify the unsettling phenomenon. The new update, tagged with build number 21F90, supplants its predecessor, addressing a specific glitch that plagued users post-update.
One of the notable fixes in this release targets an unexpected twist discovered soon after the initial 17.5 update. Users reported the eerie reappearance of previously deleted photos in their libraries, attributing it to database corruption. While Apple labels it as a rare occurrence, the impact on affected users prompted a prompt response.
For those eager to banish the ghostly images, updating to iOS 17.5.1 is a straightforward process:
Open Settings on your device. Navigate to "General." Tap on "Software Update." If the update is available, it will appear here.While automatic updates typically handle the installation seamlessly, users can manually trigger the update if needed.
As Apple rolls out updates gradually, patience may be key as the latest version may not immediately manifest for all users. But fear not, relief from the spectral photo glitch is on the horizon with iOS & iPadOS 17.5.1!
