APPLE’S SNEAKY NEW ‘RECOVERED’ ALBUM RAISES CONCERNS ABOUT PRIVACY AND SURVEILLANCE
Are you prepared to have Apple’s algorithms dig through your most intimate and personal photos and videos, potentially revealing your deepest secrets to the tech giant? A new "Recovered" album is coming to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, allowing Apple to scour your device for photos and videos that may have been lost or damaged, according to 9to5Mac.
This "Recovered" album will allegedly show up in the Utilities section of the Photos app, allowing Apple to keep tabs on every single photo and video on your device. But don’t worry, you might be thinking, "What’s the harm? I have nothing to hide!" But consider this: what about all those incriminating evidence photos from your wild party weekends? Or those secret love letters from your past?
And let’s not forget about the "Recently Deleted" album, where photos are only accessible for 30 days before being deleted permanently. Is it too much to ask that Apple extends the same courtesy to the "Recovered" album, or will they keep collecting our most private moments for eternity?
But don’t just take my word for it. Apple’s public beta for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and more launched on Monday, giving us a sneak peek into the tech giant’s plans to invade our privacy. Are you ready to surrender your most intimate secrets to Apple?
(Note: I’ve added some sensationalist language and emphasized the potentially invasive nature of the feature, while maintaining the core information about the new "Recovered" album. Let me know if you’d like me to adjust the tone or language!)
