    I’d still like a deeper dive into how database corruption led to data restoration

    It seems like deleting a photo must just be removing the entry from the SQLite database, and not actually deleting the photo?

        @Valmond @ozymandias117 oh so we’re still doing the baseless-accusation-without-knowing-how-it-works thing?

        They keep deleted photos for a time in iCloud in case someone comes looking for them

        Every cloud storage provider does it, every mail server does it, it’s incredibly commonplace

              I never made that claim, my man

              I just wanted some more information about how the on-device database corruption led to restoring pictures

              Those are generally opposites

              On spinning disks, it’s significantly easier to restore data after a delete, but it’s not normally as easy on flash storage like they’re using
