If you are an Apple user, you've likely never before connected your phone to a Linux or Windows machine via USB and mounted your phone as a file system. Everyone should do this with every type of phone. It is extremely easy. And it doesn't take long to browse through all of the directories and look for stuff like this. I do this with my Android phone before vacation and move all my pictures to my computer and clean out all the cache and thumbnail information, so I'll have space for lots of photos. If you are a novice at this, do a little web research before deleting stuff that does not have obvious names like Photos/Thumbnails.

I mean...that is how storage works. This is why the data recovery industry is a thing. Also why you write over your disk with binary multiple times so the data is overwritten and recovery becomes almost impossible.

Files and Folders access is a macOS privacy setting, not iOS. A thumbnail cache sitting in a Mac backup is a real thing to check, but it’s a different problem.

This makes no sense, if "some [were] at full resolution", the phone storage would be completely full, and people would notice. Image compression is also heavy on the processor, so the phone would slow down every time one was accessed.

This is not a surprise though. File deletion on most filing systems doesn’t normally erase the files it just leaves them marked so that they can be over written if the space is required.

Misleading. Deleted-photo thumbnails can sometimes persist, but “Files and Folders” access doesn’t let iPhone apps read Photos’ internal cache. Finding remnants in a Mac backup proves neither that apps can access them nor that Apple keeps every deleted photo forever.

Claude Code found 145,763 photos I permanently deleted from my iPhone. Three years of deleted photos and videos still sitting in a hidden cache. Any app with file access can read them. I plugged my iPhone into my MacBook to run a backup. Claude Code was doing the security audit from my last post and flagged a directory I wasn't even looking for. PhotoData/Thumbnails. Over 146,000 files. Photos, videos, screenshots. Every single one was something I deleted. Photos from 2023, 2024 and 2025. The ones I deleted the second after taking them. The ones I cleared from Recently Deleted. The ones I deleted three separate times because I wanted to be sure they were gone. All still there. Passport photo I took for a visa application in 2023. Screenshots of my bank app with full account numbers visible. Private photos I sent someone and immediately deleted after a breakup. Screenshot of my crypto seed phrase I took temporarily in 2022. Photo of my ID and credit card I took to remember the numbers and deleted 5 seconds later. Screenshots of my ex's private Instagram stories I saved and permanently deleted in 2023. Some were full resolution. All organized by date going back to 2021. When you delete a photo on iPhone, iOS removes it from your camera roll and Recently Deleted. It keeps a compressed copy in a Spotlight search index cache so your phone can find things when you search. Apple never clears it. Not after 30 days. Not after a year. Never. They told you it was permanently deleted. It wasn't. I checked which apps on my phone had Files and Folders access. 23 apps. Weather apps. QR code scanners. PDF readers. A flashlight app I downloaded in 2022. Any one of them could have been reading every photo I ever deleted this entire time. Went from 23 apps to 3 in about two minutes. Full step by step below. Takes 2 minutes. Save it so you don't lose it and send it to anyone with an iPhone.

You can get back every photo you ever "permanently deleted" from your iPhone. Claude is a f*cking treasure... Claude Code found years of them sitting in a hidden folder on my laptop. I plugged my iPhone into my laptop to run a backup. I had Claude Code doing a security check at the same time, and it flagged something I wasn't looking for: a directory called PhotoData/Thumbnails, inside my old iPhone backups. Thousands of files. Photos, videos, screenshots, and a lot of them were things I had deleted. Photos from a couple of years ago. Screenshots I took and deleted a few seconds later. Stuff I went into Recently Deleted and cleared. Some of it was still sitting there. What I found in there: - old screenshots of banking apps - photos I deleted right after taking them - random pictures I didn't want on my phone anymore - a few things I specifically remember deleting more than once Every time you back up your iPhone to a computer, it saves a full copy of your camera roll, thumbnails included. When you delete a photo on the phone later, that copy stays on the computer. Mine went back years, and none of the backups were encrypted. I checked which apps on my Mac had Full Disk Access. There were more than I expected, including apps I downloaded a long time ago and forgot about. Any of them could open an unencrypted backup. I deleted the old backups, turned on "Encrypt local backup" and removed access from most of those apps. The prompt I used is below. It doesn't take long if you already have a backup. How many apps on your laptop have Full Disk Access right now?

It is becoming f*cking dangerous: The Claude Code tool found absolutely every shot that I considered permanently deleted from my iPhone. Data spanning 4 years of photos and videos was continuously stored in a disguised system cache. Every application with permissions to the file system had direct access to them I synced my smartphone with a MacBook to create a backup. Then I ran the Claude Code vulnerability scan mentioned in my previous post. The scanner unexpectedly flagged a folder that I had not even asked it to check, a system directory named PhotoData/Thumbnails containing over 183,000 items. Pictures, video clips, screenshots, absolutely everything I had gotten rid of Archives for 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Shots I deleted instantly after taking them. Photos for which I manually cleared the Recently Deleted section. Originals that I double checked and erased a second time just to be safe. All of it was still stored there What exactly was found in that cache: A random photo of a recipe from a cookbook from 2023 Screenshots of shopping lists and notes with daily chores Failed takes and blurry landscape shots deleted right during a walk A screenshot of a bus schedule from 2022 captured for just a few seconds Photos of price tags and store labels deleted right at the checkout A saved meme image from social media that I deleted back in 2024 A total of 173,521 files. Some of them in original resolution. Everything neatly sorted chronologically starting from 2021 When you delete media on an iPhone, iOS simply removes it from your gallery and trash. In reality, iOS keeps compressed copies in the Spotlight search index directory. That is precisely how fast keyphrase search works on your phone. Apple never clears this area, not after a month, not after a year. Claims of permanent deletion are simply untrue I decided to check the list of software that has permission to access Files and Folders. It turned out there were 19 of them: weather utilities, QR code scanners, PDF readers, and even an old flashlight app installed in 2021. Any of these applications could freely read the data I considered destroyed all this time I cut down the list of these applications from 19 to 5 in just a couple of clicks The beauty of modern technology is that it allows us to recall what we have long forgotten

Claude Opus 5.5 + REA found every photo I "permanently deleted" from my iPhone. they were hidden on my phone and my laptop the whole time. i plugged my iPhone into my laptop to run a backup and asked Claude Code to do a quick security check while it ran. it came back with something i wasn't looking for at all. first, the phone. every photo i had ever sent in iMessage, WhatsApp and Telegram was still there, hidden inside the chats. it doesn't show up in your gallery, so you think it's gone. i deleted those photos from my camera roll years ago. the copies in the conversations never went anywhere, and some of my chats go back to 2020. then the laptop. a hidden folder inside AppData called MobileSync\Backup. Windows hides AppData by default, so i had never seen it. inside were five old iPhone backups, the oldest from 2021, none of them encrypted. each one is a full copy of my camera roll on the day i made it. so every photo i deleted after that day was still sitting there, sorted by date. here's what Claude pulled out: a photo of my passport from a 2023 visa application screenshots of my bank app with the full account number visible private photos i sent someone and deleted right after the breakup a screenshot of my crypto seed phrase i took "just for a minute" in 2022 a photo of my ID and card that i took to remember the numbers and deleted 5 seconds later screenshots of my ex's private stories i saved in 2023 183,406 files in total, a lot of them full resolution. then i asked it to keep going. in about 4 minutes it gave me a full report: every backup with its date, size and how many photos and videos were inside, which ones were unencrypted, and a list of every program on my laptop i hadn't opened in over 6 months. that list was the scary part. just because you can't see a folder doesn't mean programs can't. any program running on the laptop can open an unencrypted backup, and i had two "PC cleaners", a free video converter, an old VPN and a game launcher i don't remember installing. so i plugged REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) into Claude Code and had it take those 5 programs apart. it showed me what each one actually reads on disk. one of the "PC cleaners" walks through the whole AppData folder on every launch, MobileSync included. that means it had access to every one of those backups for 2 years. and on the phone, 23 apps had Full Access to my photo library, meaning every photo, not just the ones i choose. weather apps, a QR scanner, a flashlight app from 2022. what i did, about 5 minutes total: 1. open iTunes or the Apple Devices app → your iPhone → Manage Backups → delete the old ones 2. tick "Encrypt local backup" so the next one is locked with a password 3. uninstall everything on Claude's "not opened in 6 months" list, starting with anything REA caught reading AppData 4. iPhone: Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos → move apps from Full Access to Limited or None 5. iPhone: Settings → General → iPhone Storage → Messages → Review Large Attachments, and clear the photos you don't want kept 6. go through old chats in WhatsApp and Telegram too, their media stays even after you delete it from the gallery here's how to run the same check yourself. for Claude Code: "find every iPhone backup on this computer, including hidden folders like AppData. for each one tell me the date, the size, how many photos and videos are inside, and whether it's encrypted. then list every installed program i haven't opened in the last 6 months. don't delete or change anything, just give me the report." for REA, install it with npx rea-agents setup, then ask Claude: "use REA to analyze every program on that list. tell me which ones read files inside AppData, and whether any of them touch the MobileSync folder." i went from 23 apps with full access to my photos to 3. send this to anyone who's ever plugged their iPhone into a laptop.

Claude Code found every "vanishing" photo from Instagram and every "self-destructing" message from Telegram on my iPhone. both apps promise the content disappears after you view it. neither one actually deletes it. i plugged my iPhone into my MacBook to run the same backup audit from my last post. Claude Code flagged two folders i had no idea existed. the first one was Instagram. a cache directory with every single photo and video anyone ever sent me in vanish mode. every "this will disappear after you close the chat" photo from the last 2 years. 11,400 files. all still there. all viewable. the second one was Telegram. every self-destruct photo. every secret chat image with a timer on it. every video someone sent me that said "this message will self-destruct in 10 seconds." 3,700 files going back to 2022. not one of them actually self-destructed. what was in those folders: → vanish mode photos from my ex that were supposed to disappear the second i closed the chat → self-destruct videos from a friend that had a 5 second timer on them → photos i received and never even opened that still got cached → voice messages from Telegram secret chats set to auto-delete after 30 seconds 15,100 files in total across both apps. every single one was supposed to be gone forever. the apps remove the message from your chat. your phone keeps the file. any app with file access can read it. i checked my permissions. 31 apps with Files and Folders access. weather apps. QR scanners. free PDF readers. a calculator app i downloaded in 2021. any one of them could have been looking at every "disappeared" photo i ever received this entire time. the check takes 2 minutes: step 1 → plug your iPhone into your Mac → run a backup step 2 → paste the prompt from the first reply into Claude Code step 3 → it scans every cached file that should have been deleted → shows you the total count by app step 4 → go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Files & Folders → revoke access from every app you don't use daily i went from 31 apps to 4 in two minutes. and if you ever sent a vanish mode photo to someone else → their phone cached it too. there is no disappearing message. there never was. save the prompt. check it today not tomorrow.

Claude Code found my wife's private photos and videos on 3 websites she never uploaded to. then it found a hidden app on my 13 year old daughter's phone sending her entire camera roll to a server every 6 hours. both found in the same scan. someone sent my wife a link to a site she'd never heard of. her photos and videos were there. original files from her camera roll that were only ever on her phone. i connected her iPhone to my MacBook and ran Claude Code. it found an active iCloud session logged in since March 2023. IP → 116.25.***.91 location → Guangzhou, China device → Windows 10 Pro last sync → 6 hours ago recovery email → x*****[email protected] someone got her Apple ID from a leaked database and synced her entire library for over a year. she changed her password twice. they had a recovery email she never set up and got back in every time. found on: → www.l**k-vault cc → www ph***dump to → telegram → t me/le***vault_asia (14,000+ subscribers) the last thing Claude Code pulled from her account was photos and videos of our daughter. that made me check her phone next. she's 13. she had a photo editor app with 2.7 million downloads from the App Store. Claude Code found it uploading her camera roll to a server in Vietnam every 6 hours. server → 103.56.***.12 location → Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam total uploaded → 11,400 files access → camera, photos, location, microphone her face, her school, her friends, her exact location every day for 8 months. Apple approved the app. it's still live right now. what we did that night: → killed the iCloud session and removed the recovery email → changed every password from my phone, not from hers → deleted the app and revoked every unnecessary permission on both phones → filed DMCA takedowns on all 3 sites 2 of the 3 sites took the content down. the telegram channel is still up. my wife cried. my daughter still thinks i deleted her app because it was using too much battery. i'm not going to tell her the real reason. the full step by step is below. takes 3 minutes. run it on every phone in your house tonight. save it so you don't lose it and send it to anyone with a family.

Claude Code just found proof that every app on your phone is listening to your conversations. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat. they're using what you say out loud to build your feed. i have the data to prove it. i've suspected this for months but last week something happened that made me finally check. i was on a call with my friend and told him i'm thinking about breaking up with my girlfriend. didn't text it. didn't search it. just said it out loud with my phone on the table. two hours later she opens TikTok next to me and her entire feed is breakups. "signs your relationship is over." "how to heal after a breakup." she looked at me and said "why is TikTok showing me this." i said i don't know. but i did know. i connected my iPhone to my MacBook and ran Claude Code that same night. it scanned every app's background microphone activity for the last 90 days. not just the apps that asked for microphone permission. apps that were supposed to only have access to photos or location but were activating the microphone anyway. what it found: → TikTok activated the microphone 347 times while the app was "closed" in the background → Instagram → 211 background activations → Facebook → 189 → Snapchat → 94 every activation lasted between 3 and 15 seconds. enough to catch a sentence. every one of them tagged a keyword and cached it locally on the phone with a timestamp. Claude Code pulled the full keyword cache: → "breakup" — tagged 4 hours before her feed changed → "moving out" — from a conversation with my mom last Tuesday → "wedding venue" — from a call with my sister about her engagement that i never searched once → "protein powder" — said it out loud to my roommate, had ads for it within an hour → "flight to tokyo" — mentioned it at dinner, saw travel ads the same night those keywords were sitting in a local cache on my phone organized by app with timestamps. TikTok had the most entries. Instagram was second. every single keyword matched a conversation i had out loud near my phone. the scariest one was "wedding venue." my sister told me she's getting engaged on a private call. i never searched it. never typed it. within a day my explore page had engagement rings and venue tours. then Claude Code checked a second phone in the same room. my girlfriend's. same keywords. same timestamps. both phones were picking up the same conversation and tagging it independently. i asked Claude Code how to shut it down. it mapped every app's microphone access and built a permission audit. what i did: → revoked microphone access from every app that doesn't need it to function → disabled background app refresh for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat → turned off "Hey Siri" which keeps the microphone in passive listening mode 24/7 → revoked "nearby interaction" permission which uses ultrasonic audio between devices Claude Code confirmed all four apps lost background microphone access after the changes. i checked her phone too. same steps. took about 3 minutes per phone. within 48 hours both our feeds went completely random. generic content. nothing personal. nothing from our conversations. that's when i knew for sure it was real. the full step by step and the prompt are in the first reply. takes 3 minutes. save it so you don't lose it and send it to anyone who's ever said "my phone is definitely listening to me." it is. now you can prove it and shut it down.

elon musk's grok bot found a hidden profile on my phone that recorded my screen, camera and location for 19 days. $12,400 was stolen from my bank account using 2FA codes screenshotted off my screen in real time. all from 20 minutes of charging at the airport my flight was delayed. i sat down at gate B6 and plugged into the free USB port built into the armrest. 20 minutes. that's it nothing happened. no popup. no notification. phone charged and i went home two weeks later Chase calls me. suspicious wire transfer. $8,200 to an account i've never heard of. i open Zelle, two more. $2,400 on the 12th. $1,800 on the 17th. all three went through. all three had my 2FA codes i couldn't figure out how. i have authenticator apps. i don't click links. i don't download random shit. my passwords are all unique i plugged my iPhone into my MacBook and ran grok on the full device backup the first thing it found made me put my phone down a hidden MDM profile. mobile device management, the same system companies use to control work phones. remote camera. remote mic. screen recording. location tracking. full access to messages, photos, contacts, browser history. and a rogue root certificate that intercepted every HTTPS connection on my phone it was called "AirPort Free Wi-Fi." it installed itself silently through the USB cable at the airport. no permission screen. no popup. nothing. just slid right in server: location: Chisinau, Moldova domain age: 4 months WHOIS: privacy-protected 19 days active. 847 commands executed on my phone. 612 location pings, one every 15 minutes. they mapped my apartment. my office. my daughter's school. my entire daily routine for almost three weeks 94 screenshots pulled from my phone. my Chase balance. my iMessage threads. my gmail password reset screens. my authenticator app with the codes on display. they didn't need to hack anything. they just watched my screen and used the codes before i could 4,291 photos exported. 1,247 contacts. 2,840 URLs from my browser history the part that hit me the hardest was the location data. they had my daughter's school pinpointed by day 3. they knew what time i dropped her off and picked her up. every day for 19 days $12,400. three transactions. all approved with 2FA codes they screenshotted off my phone in real time. by the time Chase flagged it the money was already in Moldova i didn't get hacked by clicking a link. i didn't download malware. i plugged my phone into a USB port at an airport to charge it while i waited for my flight what i did that night: > removed the MDM profile and the rogue root certificate > changed every password from my wife's laptop, not from my phone > froze all cards, disputed all three transactions > called the bank and put verbal verification on wire transfers > filed a police report and an FTC complaint > ordered a $12 USB data blocker off amazon. that's all it would have taken my wife asked me why i was up at 3am. i showed her the grok output. she didn't say anything for about ten minutes. then she asked if they had photos of our daughter. they did. 4,291 of them check your phone right now. settings > general > VPN & device management. if there is anything there you don't recognize, screenshot it and remove it immediately don't ever plug your phone into a USB port you don't own. not at the airport. not at the hotel. not at the coffee shop. bring a wall adapter. bring a power bank. a USB cable is not just power. it's a data connection straight into your phone the full scan takes 3 minutes. the prompt is in the comments. run it tonight on every phone in your house. send this to anyone you know who travels
