iOS Has Been Saving Your Deleted SMS Attachments

This is stocking!!

stocking (def) noun 1. close-fitting covering for the foot and part of the leg, usually knitted, of wool, cotton, nylon, silk, or similar material.

I laughed out loud

Just freed up 2gb of space......

This is crazy me too I free up 1.6gb that I could be using for apps, music or photos

Is there a way to restore these files, so I can get the pics back?. I have a few pics that I deleted and would like to get them back

Just confirmed its also part of IOS 5.1.1, just checked ifile and found all deleted pics and videos still there, about 1/2GB big

>>>>>>>>>>I've found this almost 2 month ago while I was rooting my Iphone and I called the german apple service "why are there still messages and numbers after deleting them" the one at the service-center could answer my question and I think he wasnt even allowed to answer them -.- fck apple !!!!!! they are working with CIA together.<<<<<<<<<<<<

This is kind of old news, in my country it was all over the news like almost 2 years ago that Apple is saving your GPS routs and that they can turn on the microphone and camera from on commend, I don't know how they kept it off the news in the U.S but the GPS part was leaked and Cydia came out with an App that delete the file and stop Apple from spying on our location, then it made it to the courts and Apple layers said that they are studying our routs so they can give us better service ( that was like a year before Apple Maps ) any way the courts made Apple stop it but nothing about the microphone and cameras was mentioned. but in the news here they also showed how the FBI busted 5 mobsters by listening and watching them plan a murder and they showed the whole thing that the FBI saw and heard. there are all kind of talk about the goverment asking Apple to build a phone that you can't take the battery out for just that reason, also the Feds or CIA will pay up to $200,000 for a good jailbreak ( Cydia paid $30,000,000 for the guys that created the 5.1.1 jailbreak, I bet they paid much more for the long awaited 6.1 jailbreak ) So nothing would surprise me when Apple name comes up!!!

I agree with Tom !! Thats fuking annoying how come your deleted contact still appear ??

This is bad for people that are cheating on their girlfriends or wives or simply doing some criminal shit... Otherwise a picture or video in a text message should definitely not f with your security or anything else... I mean like some information in a pictures or video put in an instant message, you shouldn't get in trouble for that... first of all your text messages are private property of yours police and other authorities should not have easy access or any access if you haven't done anything criminal!

Wow, the prejudices of you applafanboys are simply pathetic, you would say anything in order to defend your shitty OS. What if some stalker sents you pictures of his d*** or videos while he wan** to your iScum device and you are not able to delete them? Its a security risk, a bug and a prove that Big Brother is watching you, dont try to defend that, iDiot!

Why just men? How about women that cheating on their husband or boyfriend? Your logic is very childish and irrelevant

It has nothing to do with any human behavior. Stop defending apple. It's something that should have been fixed ages ago. Which takes me back to the previous article about jailbreaking, I've had more problems with iOS itself then anything jailbreak has brought. Also on top of it jailbreakers can easily remove the dormant space wasting images that act deleted but are not, that normal users have to restore there phones from a full restore point because even there backup may still have those images. It's BS!

I don't trust using my iPhone anymore. I am really conserving switching to the new galaxy.

I own all Apple devices and I totally agree with you and I won't defend Apple!

There is another issue with messages, If you delete a contact with an iPhone that uses iMessage, if you type the name of the contact it'll still appear. It's really annoying.

Boo fvcking hoo.

Not case on 5.1.1

I've confirmed that 5.1.1 does it as well, I found pictures and videos from over a year ago still there, checked with ifile

there are Apps at Cydia just for those kind of things.

Not for 5.1.1 you F_agg*t!
