Are iPhones Resurrecting People’s Deleted Nudes?
Could the new iPhone update be resurrecting people’s deleted nudes? People are claiming it’s been happening to them! They say that deleted nudes have been returning on their phones that they deleted years ago.
Is this a widespread issue? Or are a few people getting hacked? What is going on? See more details on this trending story below.
iPhone Update Resurrecting People’s Deleted Nudes?
Deleted nudes are not the photos you want to see return to your phone. Maybe an old vacation or family trip–that would be nice. However, deleted nudes are something you hope are gone forever. Yet, that’s not happening for some people who have been reporting this problem.
According to The New York Post, the Apple iOS 17.5 update is causing years-long deleted photos to reappear on phones. On Reddit, one person said, “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.” That makes it even more weird! The photos just aren’t reappearing in phones or in your photo library when they were taken. They’re coming to the front as recent additions? That doesn’t sound like it’s supposed to happen.
However, that Reddit user wasn’t alone. Other commenters said it has happened to them, as well. Another person on the Reddit post said, “Same heer. I have four pics from 2010 that keep reappearing as the latest pics uploaded to iCloud. I have deleted them repeatedly.” This is a nightmare scenario! You want those gone and deleted and it’s expected that our phones will do that.
However, it doesn’t seem to be exclusive to just these nude photos. Other people on Reddit and social media have said they received old deleted voicemails on their phone. What could be causing this? It could be a glitch in the software. It could be hackers. There are so many options and possibilities it’s hard to pinpoint it. It’s noteworthy because it comes about a month after Apple warned many users that their phones were targeted in a mercenary cyber attack, per The New York Post.

9 Dudes Who Should Have Won 'Sexiest Man Alive'
Ryan Gosling

Believe it or not, Ryan Gosling has never won People’s Sexiest Man Alive title. I feel like this could have been the year. He was in the biggest movie of the year (and looked darn good in it). Then again…he’s just Ken.
Travis Kelce

I know many people are tired of seeing it and hearing him brought up. However, can you name a more popular man in 2023…who also happens to be pretty sexy? He’s an incredibly popular athlete, a two-time Super Bowl champion (including the most recent Super Bowl title), he’s handsome, and he’s (allegedly) dating one of the biggest starts on earth. Additionally, he’s everywhere! Is there a single commercial running on TV that he’s not in? If there is, I haven’t seen it. This could have been the cherry on top of one of the greatest years for a human being ever.
Harry Styles

Harry Styles is certainly worthy of the title of ‘Sexiest Man Alive.’ He’s one of the most well-known celebrities in the world and one of the most handsome. His list of ex-girlfriends includes some of the most beautiful and popular women alive. He can sing, he can act, and he can definitely model. I wouldn’t have blinked an eye if Harry had won the coveted title. His time will come.
Leonardo DiCaprio

Here’s a fact you may not have known: Leo has never won People’s Sexiest Man Alive title. However, he has won the title for other outlets, but this is the one that matters. He’s also appeared on the cover of People’s ‘Most Beautiful’ in 1998. I’m sure it doesn’t bother him, he’s accomplished enough in fields that matter to care about being the most sexy. That being said, this is probably the only trophy missing from his mantle. I mean, I don’t think they actually give a trophy for this, but you know what I’m getting at…
Robert Pattinson

If I was able to vote for People’s Sexiest Man Alive, I would probably have cast my vote for Robert Pattinson. First, I believe he is in fact the sexiest man alive. Secondly, he remains a big deal in pop culture. He’s Batman! Clooney won it! I think Pattinson should, and eventually will, join the exclusive list. Just give it a little time. The hair…the stare…it’s all there.
John Krasinski

John Krasinski is an American Treasure an is worthy of being named Sexiest Man Alive. We’ve seen him go from cute to straight up sexy since his days on The Office. He’s grown out his beard, got ripped, and remains popular staying busy with several projects in front of and behind the camera. I bet you he was one of five finalists for the award this year. He had to have been. Otherwise, who are the judges here? I’d like to throw my hat into the ring going forward.

The crooner is definitely has the looks and charisma to win People’s Sexiest Man Alive. He seemingly has it all. He’s handsome, he’s funny, and he can play the guitar. Is that legal? I feel like an individual should only be able to be one of those things. All three? Not fair. To be honest, that might have something to do with him not winning.
Simu Liu

Simu Liu is another celebrity that could have been crowned Sexiest Man Alive in 2023. He’s a Marvel superhero, he’s a chiseled Ken, and he’s smart! I enjoyed watching him during his run on Celebrity Jeopardy! Not every guy on this list would be capable of looking good and being smart. Simu can and does!
Pedro Pascal

Did any actor have a better 2023 than Pedro Pascal? The Last Of Us was one of the biggest shows of the year. It was only one of the reasons Pedro was the internet’s favorite person this year. Seriously, did you see all the memes? You couldn’t scroll without seeing his handsome face. It also helps that he’s funny, as we saw when he hosted Saturday Night Live. I’m actually surprised he didn’t win People’s Sexiest Man Alive this year. Patrick Dempsey was a Cinderella story, which is ironic because Dempsey stars in Enchanted.
