iOS 15 Messages Bug Causes Saved Photos to Be Deleted

Even if you put this data loss bug aside (which you should not do!) the whole thing is really bothersome for another reason:
The photos get deleted WHEN YOU DO A BACKUP.
There is no reason a backup process should be deleting anything on the device being backed up. The fact that a backup causes this deletion really makes me question Apple's processes.
I just saved another extra backup copy of my photo library as a hedge against other bugs like this that iOS 15 might have introduced. I hope Apple has a good explanation for this because I just can't abide this kind of bug.
Yes. Why keep them forever? It’s a waste of space and time to keep them. Also iOS has a setting to automatically delete older messages so soon sooner or later anyone with that tuned on will start losing photos.
Apple is so far ahead of its time that they already had WFH problems before we had to WFHIf work-from-home is iOS 15's excuse, then how do we explain the bugs in oh let's say iOS 11?

I ran into an issue that was similar to this but with the Music app. I did a device transfer which included my 30 GB local music library. When I plugged in my new phone to my PC to do a backup, iTunes copied over the entire music library a second time. At first I thought it was replacing the files from the device transfer, but I saw my phone reported that I had twice the number of songs and 30 GB less free space compared to my old phone. Unbelievable.
I recall there were pissed of Samsung users and seeing some of them complain. However with the selection bias, they wouldn't come to MR to post though (at least not in the main forums), so it may seem like there weren't that many of them?
Bad management, which got resolved after the notorious ios 11 release. But everything seems to have reverted.If work-from-home is iOS 15's excuse, then how do we explain the bugs in oh let's say iOS 11?

How about they stop working on anything new in iOS and just focus on fixing everything messed up in iOS 15.0?
Well you better start holding onto them a bit loner until this is resolved! To keep messages while saving space, it's easy to delete individual media files in the conversation that might be large (esp. videos) if you don't want to keep those. With a conversation open, simply tap on their name (top center) then scroll down to see all photos (includes videos), links, and documents in that conversation. You can delete whichever ones you want.
Sign me up for that !! I would take that over new features in a heartbeat
Why the hell do we need a new OS every year? This is pathetic. Tim might make billions for the company and himself but he is a disaster when it comes to running a tight, focused ship.
I think it’s the CSAM scan tool, it’s got iOS 15 all messed up! Great legacy Tim, way to foul things up, when are you leaving?
Yeah Forstall was a d..k, but he channeled Steve's detail obsession quite...obsessively. Airplay hasn't been "right" since iOS 6. AirPlay 2 is "ok", but I need it to stay connected, not pass out after a few minutes and act like it never happened. Airplay 2 is just doing the same thing airplay 1 did from iOS 7+, but with more devices. That's not "better". Why does airplay stop when I put my device to sleep? It kept going in the background on my iPad (1st gen!!, the A5 chip!) with iOS 5. Played entire movies to Apple TV. Now, airplay is like a 90yr old man... zonks out as soon as it can and forgets everything in the room around it.

Probably the same reason as to why they are releasing new macOS versions every year since Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
I found another possible reason...
Apple Says It Needs 3 Years to Bring a New Feature from Planning to Production
And this is what happens when a company that was built on in person collaboration is forced to send the majority of its workforce home, but then doesn’t adapt it’s own culture and policies to compensate.
Cook was aware that work from home was causing issues, that’s why he tried to bring people back in office despite its unpopularity. He wasn’t just being a jerk to be a jerk… the writing was on the wall and his managers were reporting more issues daily as a consequence. The failure on Apple’s part comes from refusing to accept the inevitable and trying to make a new paradigm based around work from home instead of trying to make work from home fit the current, because it’s not working.

Apple is trying to make the new paradigm work, but it’s not easy to steer a giant ship in a short amount of time.
Installed on my iPad 9.7 and my iTunes working weirdly. Can't play songs. Had to repeatedly kill the app and restart few times. Weirdly no sound while playing too!
