I went to send a picture and saw that the latest pictures were [not safe for work] material we’d made years ago when we were living apart, Apple product user, via Reddit.

But WTF.

It was permanently deleted.

Years ago but magically it’s back??

I checked my iPad and it also has pictures (some art work I did years ago).

I feel so uncomfortable, Apple product user, via Reddit.

Other users referred to the issue as "the worst software experience ever.".

These just came out of nowhere this has to be the worst software experience ever.

I thought Apple had a solid OS, ever since iOS 16 it's been shambles.

The reports could be down to an indexing bug, photo library corruption, or a syncing issue between local devices and iCloud Photos, Via MacRumors.

Another possibility is that in attempting to fix a photo syncing bug that occurred in iOS 17.3, Apple has inadvertently caused a new syncing issue to occur that may involve iCloud backups, Via MacRumors
