Pictures from an unshared note can leak into shared notes on iOS

I recently discovered that if you add large videos or many images to a note in iOS 17, and delete that note before all images are attached to the note, the images get attached to the next note in the list, even if its a shared note.

I reached out to Apple thinking this could be a privacy concern and was told that it was a UI bug not a privacy concern, do you agree?

    This kind of pretty sloppiness is exactly why I avoid their defaults like the plague. Tell me you're being irresponsible with your position of power without telling me you're being irresponsible with your position of power. Sigh

    No I don’t agree. That is outrageous.

    Absolutely a privacy concern
