Classic Apple. 'Privacy is a human right' until they conveniently forget to *actually* delete your stuff from their servers. Or maybe it's just 'data retention for future AI training' disguised as a bug.
Nah, this isn't about their servers directly. It's usually a sync issue with iCloud backups, or messages re-downloading from an old device backup. Or sometimes just an indexing bug locally. Not necessarily 'Apple storing everything forever' intentionally.
OMG, this happened to me! Had an old pic pop up from like 2017 that I swear I deleted years ago. Freaked me out. Thought my phone was haunted.
