If you have live photos turned on--
and I turn live photos off once I
realize this happened-- a movie file will
be created for these live photos in addition to a JPEG.
Now, this is where this gets interesting.
If I delete IMG_1004.mov, IMG_1004.jpeg may persist
and say on that device.
So the user will never see it because their movie
file's gone, but it's still on that device.
You will get this even with an iTunes backup.
So it's another way that I think Apple is just eating our space.
On the right-hand side, if you think about your iPhone,
if you go on to your iPhone and you go into messages,
there is a camera in the message.
So if you take a picture with the camera within the text--
so photo capture within SMS--
that picture used to skip the user's gallery
until iPhone 13--
or iOS 13.
So the user would never know that it still existed.
It was amazing.
It was strictly in with the V2, DCIM thumbnails.
So as you go in and you look, you
would see these images get a 5005 JPEG file extension.
The folder is the name of the actual file.
Unfortunately now, iOS 13, 14, and 15--
if you take a picture within SMS, it goes to your gallery,
so the user will see it.
But previous versions-- it was almost out of sight,
out of mind.
So if you're texting someone maybe you shouldn't be,
or you're sending photos, you would find it
when you recovered the chats.
You would find it in this directory,
but you wouldn't see it in your gallery.
