Apple has released iOS 17.5.1 for iPhone. The software update specifically addresses the issue with deleted photos reportedly returning to after updating to iOS 17.5.
Apple directly acknowledges the deleted photo problem that we reported last week in the release notes:
This update provides important bug fixes and addresses a rare issue where photos that experienced database corruption could reappear in the Photos library even if they were deleted.
The update comes one week after iOS 17.5 first became available. iOS 17.5 includes new games for News+ subscribers, the 2024 Pride wallpaper, cross-platform tracking detection, and more changes for Digital Markets Act compliance in the EU.
iOS 17.5.1 is available as an over-the-air update now. Grab it from the Settings app under General > Software Update.
