Deleted iPhone photos 'still on the phone': what's true in the viral story
A viral post said an iPhone kept 145,000 deleted photos for three years. What holds up, what doesn't, and the three places deleted photos really survive.
A vault that copies isn't protecting anything
Most photo vault apps copy your private photos and leave the originals in Photos and Recently Deleted. Why that defeats the purpose, and how zero-copies clean-up works.
Why VaultBolt will never ask for your email
VaultBolt has no accounts by design. What that means for privacy, purchases, backup and recovery, and the trade-off we chose on purpose.
Introducing VaultBolt
Why we're building VaultBolt, an encrypted photo vault for iPhone and iPad that finds your private photos, moves them instead of copying, and asks for nothing in return.
How we compare photo vault apps
Our method for comparing photo vault apps: sources, what 'not listed' means, how often we update, and how app makers can request corrections.
