Messages Bug On iOS 15 Deletes Saved Photos

A new report revealed that iPhone users may encounter a serious bug in iOS 15 that deletes their saved images from Messages. In general, the bug would wipe off those images when the user deletes the Messages thread it originates from and then performs an iCloud backup.

Usually, this would not happen as the saved images in the Photos library are independent of the thread. We tested it ourselves and can confirm that while the photos will still remain after deleting the messages, they will disappear once an iCloud backup is done.

Users should be wary of this issue as many iPhone owners out there have enabled their iCloud backups to happen automatically. If you regularly clean up your messages, you should hold off for a while until this glitch is fixed. It is also interesting to note that Macrumors has tested the bug on iOS 15.1 beta 2 and says that the problem has yet to be resolved.

Mobile analytics firm Mixpanel says that iOS 15 has been adopted by almost 20% of iPhone users in less than 2 weeks. So far, several bugs have been discovered in the operating system such as touchscreen issues on the iPhone 13 and overheating issues when using Spotify. We can only hope the upcoming stable release of iOS 15.1 will address most of these problems.

Twitter Testing New Edge-To-Edge Layout For Photos And Videos On iOS

Twitter recently revealed that it is testing a new layout on its iOS app for tweets containing photos and videos. Posts such as these will now fill up the entire width of the screen to give more focus on media content shared by the platform’s community.

From the demonstration video provided, it is quite clear that Twitter has drawn inspiration for this new layout from social media rival Instagram. In fact, these posts do bear a strong resemblance to the Facebook-owned photo sharing platform’s layout – difference being the inclusion of Twitter’s familiar reply, retweet, like and share buttons below the images or videos, and the occasional text-only tweets scattered in between while scrolling through.

This test is the latest from the company as part of its efforts to address various complaints regarding its multimedia content supported tweets throughout the years. These include poor compression that drops the quality of uploaded photos, and the forced cropping of images (which also has controversies of its own) in order to fit within Twitter’s then-existing layout. Since then, the platform has been tweaking its interface to allow for full-sized images and adding high resolution content support up to 4K.

However, not all users are keen on this new edge-to-edge approach. According to The Verge, those who have access to the new layout have complained that it is too “in your face” for their liking and is also “headache-inducing”, while others have made inevitable comparisons of the new format with Twitter’s rivals – namely Facebook and Instagram.

If you’ve not noticed the new layout on the platform’s iOS app yet, that is because Twitter has only rolled out the update to a small number of testers at this time. So far, there’s no mention of when the platform is planning to have the updated interface to other users on Apple’s platform, or even to those on the Android version of the app.

WhatsApp Reportedly Working On Letting Users Send Uncompressed Photos

WABetainfo reports a very interesting new feature being developed by WhatsApp that could fix the annoying issue of low-res quality when sending images on the platform; a non-issue on other popular messaging apps such as Telegram and Apple’s Messages. The issue stems from WhatsApp’s heavy image compression that causes even sharp, high-quality photos to be converted to a blurry shadow of its former self.

Android users can now hold their breath in anticipation as the report hints that the latest WhatsApp beta update is developing a way for users to send images without being degraded by heavy compression. From the interface, we can see that there will be three options for photo quality:

• Auto (Recommended): WhatsApp will decide whether or not to compress your photo based on your internet connection.
• Best quality: This option will make WhatsApp send the image in the best quality possible. It’s still unclear whether the images will be fully uncompressed or the app will just apply less aggressive compression.
• Data Saver: Images will be compressed as usual to save data and storage space.

Just last week, a beta update revealed that similar options for video quality are in the works. Just like the video feature, these functions are not yet active. Rather, the interface is there as a placeholder until the fully-fledged feature is released to beta users. There’s no telling when these features will be added to the beta, let alone the public. You can join the beta programme here, but do note that slots are currently full so you might have to wait a while.
