is that why "system data" takes up 30gbs

Wait until you find out ALL your iMessages are sitting IN CLEAR, UNENCRYPTED in a sqllite on all your macs in ~/LibraryMessages

Ts just an old video of a jailbroken iPhone 3G and a made up fucking story. Larping for the reacts. You were not taking photos on this in 2025. Foh

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.

IOS and Google's Android are simply blackboxes for the feds.

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.

Do you think it could find the number of a stripper I deleted? Asking for a friend…

152k deleted files still sitting on a phone sounds insane would definitely want to see proof before trusting that claim

I’m no tech expert, but File Scavenger taught me a lesson in the late 2000s: if you can’t afford for something to go public, keep it in your head. 😎

It just has hidden memory to store all that? Bullshit.

What bothers me is how much stays on my old phone when I trade it in. They say it’s wiped clean.

Slop

call bullshit on this one. images aren’t infinitely compressible. this would use enough storage that people would have discovered it sooner if it were real.

Is that why I’ve got so “system data” in my storage I can’t delete?

Nothing is deleted it’s just waiting to be overwritten

Bullshit. Show us the open source code that do this. An app can only access to photos in the library

Fake fear mongering. This is literally a phone being jail broken 😂 this is what the process of jailbreaking looks like it’s not Claude and it’s definitely not finding any old deleted data. Can it be done? Yes. Can it be done with regular ppl using bs software? No.

Where is the full step below?

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.

claude code can also find horse shit. it found this post.

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.

and now anthropic also have your photos

Nice project! If you really want to open the box of Pandora. Focus on Whatsapp, you will enter a time machine 🙂

@Apple is this true? @Google, I wouldn’t be surprised.

@grok is this legit? is this true for the latest OS and iphones? what’s easiest way to prompt this with claude or codex

One. The thumbnails cache repopulates after major iOS updates. Two nothing is perm deleted it’s just scrubbed from the index record and overwritten three if you’re that concerned encrypt you’re backups

How did you guys convince yourselves? At the beginning of AI, you were worried it would leak privacy, and now you're letting AI take complete control of your devices

@grok is this real? Is there a way to really delete all of this thumbnail photo data from iPhone?

Now we know why trade-ins sent to apple were such popular "deals"

@Cranefomo wow, that's wild. learned this the hard way too. did a full factory reset to actually wipe those hidden caches for good. kinda annoying but it worked.

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.

“full step by step is below” — where????

More and more reasons to change to grapheneOS next time I need a new phone. @apple

@grok can Claude code unlock my old 3GS iPhone?

Claude just found 1,244 photos of my 19y/o sister on a random server She never posted a single one of them… I was making a birthday post for her and reverse-searched an old photo of us from last Christmas Google found it on a site I'd never heard of. Just an open folder, no password Inside the folder - 4 subfolders: /gallery - 2,312 photos, sorted by date /screens - 1,140 screenshots of her bank app and WhatsApp /docs - her ID card, front and back /new - empty I refreshed the page /new - 1 file A selfie. Taken 4 minutes ago I called her. She had no idea I asked if I could check her phone. She said yes I plugged her Samsung into my laptop, turned on USB debugging and gave Claude Opus 5.5 one prompt: "Find whatever is sending this phone's photos to the internet" It scanned 214 apps in 90 seconds and stopped on 1 "System Sync" No icon. Hidden from the app drawer. Not from the Play Store Every permission it had, and what it used it for: accessibility → to read every screen she opened all photos → to copy her whole gallery mic + SMS + location → to know where she was and who she talked to device admin → so the "Uninstall" button stayed grey Then Opus decompiled the app and rebuilt its history: Day 1 - installed by hand, on her unlocked phone Day 2 - full gallery uploaded, 1,244 photos Day 3 - first screenshot of her bank app Day 41 - 1.8 GB sent, mostly between 1am and 5am And one line in the code - the server address The same site where I found her photos 96 screenshots and 87 new photos were still waiting in the upload queue What we did in the next hour: 1. Screen-recorded everything as evidence 2. Turned off device admin, then removed the app 3. Changed 14 passwords from my laptop, not her phone 4. Turned on 2FA everywhere 5. Reported the folder to the hosting company 2 days later the folder was gone But someone held her unlocked phone for a few minutes, 41 days ago She still doesn't know who Your must have 3-minute check tonight after saving this post: 1. Battery - anything draining power with the screen off 2. Photos - only your camera and gallery need "all photos" 3. Accessibility - every app there needs a reason to be there 4. Device admin - most people only need "Find My Device" 5. Hidden apps - no icon + "system", "sync" or "health" in the name = check it Found something? Don't delete it on the spot. Screenshot everything, then remove it and change your passwords from a different device Prompt below ↓

Claude Code found 200+ private videos of my wife and me on adult sites. Things we filmed only for each other… A neighbor went red and told me he'd seen something online that looked a lot like us. My stomach dropped. I connected Claude Code to my phone and ran a deep scan. It found a hidden spy program that had sat there for 1.6 years, quietly sending our files to an open server every 3 days. Here's what had leaked: photos → 6,700 (passport scans, documents, bank statements) private videos → 200+, just my wife and me chats, passwords, screenshots → almost everything on the phone In 2 days Claude gathered the proof, wrote every takedown request and killed the program. Some copies are still out there, so now it checks the internet for me every week. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. How to check your own phone, step-by-step below. Save it and run it on yourself.
