馃毃BREAKING NEWS : Your "deleted" photos aren't deleted.
Claude Code found years of them sitting in a hidden cache on my iPhone.
I plugged my iPhone into my MacBook to run a backup. I had Claude Code doing a security check at the same time. It flagged something I wasn't looking for. A directory called PhotoData/Thumbnails.
Thousands of files. Photos, videos, screenshots. A lot of them were things I had deleted.
Photos from a couple of years ago. Screenshots I took and deleted a few seconds later. Stuff I went into Recently Deleted and cleared. Some of it was still sitting there.
What I found in that cache:
- old screenshots of banking apps
- photos I deleted right after taking them
- random pictures I didn't want on my phone anymore
- a few things I specifically remember deleting more than once
When you delete a photo on iPhone, iOS removes it from your camera roll and Recently Deleted folder. But it keeps a compressed copy in a Spotlight search cache so your phone can still find things when you search. That cache doesn't get fully cleared.
I checked which apps had Files and Folders access. There were more than I expected, including apps I downloaded a long time ago and forgot about. Any of them could potentially read files from that cache.
I went through the list and removed access from most of them.
The prompt I used is below. It doesn't take long if you already have a backup.
How many apps on your phone have Files access right now?
Solana Lab, in action.
engram.llc/lab
We built a workspace to explore similar ideas, characters and logos across indexed Solana projects.
Here鈥檚 a quick guide:
- Idea Trace: enter a name, description or token address, then click Find traces.
- Explore the map: select a match to inspect its details, sources and reasons for appearing.
- Narrow your search: filter results and compare projects side by side.
- Save your research: download a JSON report with results and sources.
- Image Trace: upload a character or logo to look for visual similarities.
Matches are a starting point. Follow the sources and explore the connections.
We just gave Solana Lab a major upgrade.
engram.llc/lab
- 802,619 unique token addresses across indexed sources.
- Idea Trace: search names, themes, characters, symbols or Solana addresses.
- Image Trace: compare logos and characters against 7,605 indexed images.
- Interactive maps, filters, side-by-side comparisons and JSON reports.
- A redesigned workspace for desktop and mobile.
Image coverage is still partial. AI Review isn鈥檛 connected yet. Finding no matches doesn鈥檛 prove an idea is unique.
