      There’s a post on reddit about some dude who gave his phone to a friend (wiped it, new iCloud, everything), and the undeleted photos are from when OP owned the phone.

        With a factory reset the phones encryption keys will be destroyed and nothing should be retrievable from that device. Even if the data isn’t overwritten, without the encryption key no one could read it.

        At least that’s my understanding of the modern safety- and encryption features of recent phone models/mobile OS’s.

        The worst part: Apple’s iCloud is end-to-end encrypted and even Apple can’t see the users files, at least that is what they say.

        If what the dude on Reddit states is true, then this is bad, really really bad! 😮

          you can enable end to end encryption, it’s optional. I don’t think it’s enabled by default.

          Not all of iCloud is end to end encrypted unless you manually activate their extra secure mode (which disables a few features too)

      “I know it’s not your nude, but it’s a nude and that’s what you were looking for, right?”

        Of course it’s company policy to never imply ownership in the event of a nude. It’s always the indefinite article “a” nude. Never “your” nude.
