Compared to other iOS 15-related bugs and iPhone 13 problems, this could be ane of the almost annoying, since almost users have the iCloud Fill-in feature enabled on an automatic ground. As a effect, your photos could keep potentially disappearing, without you being aware of the issue, unless the backup is disabled.

According to MacRumors, the event hasn't yet been addressed in the latest iOS fifteen beta.

In case you lot've already installed iOS xv and wanted to encounter the bug for yourself, here are the steps that you can follow:

ane. Open an iMessage conversation/thread
ii. Save any photo to your Camera Coil
