Pictures from an unshared note can leak into shared notes on iOS

15 points by relbeek2 2 years ago · 6 comments · 1 min read


I recently discovered that if you add large videos or many images to a note in iOS 17, and delete that note before all images are attached to the note, the images get attached to the next note in the list, even if its a shared note.

I reached out to Apple thinking this could be a privacy concern and was told that it was a UI bug not a privacy concern, do you agree?

This kind of pretty sloppiness is exactly why I avoid their defaults like the plague. Tell me you're being irresponsible with your position of power without telling me you're being irresponsible with your position of power. Sigh

No I don’t agree. That is outrageous.

Absolutely a privacy concern

    That is what I also thought; I submitted it a second time, and it was rejected again. I even showed them a video of the process.

      Can you reproduce it when the next note is shared?

      • relbeek2OP 2 years ago

        Yes and verified that the person the note is shared with gets it on their phone. So it’s not even just a ui bug
