When you delete an item from Recently Deleted, it is instantly and permanently deleted. Anyone who might be using your iPhone cannot recover something that no longer exists.

Actually read some recent ones, talking about how easy it is to retrieve data and that nothing is really permanently deleted. It talks about how Apple frees up space when a picture is permanently deleted and that it has to be overwritten for it to be unrecovered. Lastly that anyone “hackers” could access the data and leak it.
