Here’s why deleted iPhone photos returned to some iOS devices
這就是刪除的iPhone 照片返回到某些 iOS 設備的原因
We finally have a better understanding of why devices running iOS 17.5 started resurfacing long-deleted photos, courtesy of Apple and some third-party researchers. While Apple released the iOS 17.5.1 iPhone update to fix the issue earlier this week, attributing it to a “database corruption,” the company remained tight-lipped about what was specifically causing old files — including deleted nudes, in some reports — to start appearing on devices that never hosted them.
感謝 Apple 和一些第三方研究人員的幫助,我們終于更好地理解了為什么運行 iOS 17.5 的設備開始重新顯示長期刪除的照片。 盡管蘋果公司本周早些時候發(fā)布了 iOS 17.5.1 iPhone 更新來解決該問題,并將其歸因于“數(shù)據(jù)庫損壞”,但該公司仍然對具體導致舊文件(在一些報告中包括刪除的裸照)的原因守口如瓶。 開始出現(xiàn)在從未托管過它們的設備上。
Elaborating on the issue to 9to5Mac, Apple says it was caused by a corrupt database entry on the device’s file system, impacting files on the devices themselves and not those that had been synced to iCloud. Those files may have been carried over from older devices when restored from a backup or during device-to-device transfer.
Apple 在向 9to5Mac 詳細說明該問題時表示,這是由設備文件系統(tǒng)上的數(shù)據(jù)庫條目損壞造成的,影響的是設備本身的文件,而不是那些已同步到 iCloud 的文件。 當從備份恢復或在設備到設備傳輸期間,這些文件可能是從舊設備繼承的。
“Based on this code, we can say that the photos that reappeared were still lying around on the filesystems and that they were just found by the migration routine added in iOS 17.5,” said Synacktiv. “Based only on this analysis, it is not possible to conclude how the photos remained on the filesystem in the first place.” The Synacktiv article then directs readers to this comment on Reddit for a plausible explanation, which includes the possibility of users saving images to both the File app and Photos app and only deleting the latter.
Synacktiv 表示:“根據(jù)這段代碼,我們可以說重新出現(xiàn)的照片仍然存在于文件系統(tǒng)中,并且它們只是被 iOS 17.5 中添加的遷移例程發(fā)現(xiàn)的。” “僅根據(jù)此分析,無法斷定照片最初是如何保留在文件系統(tǒng)上的。” Synacktiv 文章隨后引導讀者查看 Reddit 上的這條評論,尋求合理的解釋,其中包括用戶可以將圖像同時保存到“文件”應用和“照片”應用中,而只刪除后者。
