If you simply can't find that old photo you swearused to be ?? ?? ??on your iPhone, Apple may have a fix for that when iOS 18 officially drops later this year.
According to MacRumors, the next big software update for iPhones will have a new feature in the Photos app that will let you recover lost or damaged photos and videos that may not properly appear in your other albums like they should. You can find these photos by opening the Photos app, going to Albums, and scrolling down until you see Utilities.

You'll also need to actually have some damaged photos or videos lying around on your device, otherwise the options to recover (or destroy) them won't show up at all.
These kinds of images or videos can be lost or damaged for many reasons. As MacRumors pointed out, some third-party apps don't save things to the photo library properly — or databases get corrupted. In these instances, if iOS 18 can intelligently identify photos with problems (and give users a way to restore or destroy them), it could arguably be one of the most impactful features for the Photos app in quite some time.
We'll find out together later this year when iOS 18 drops.
