Original Title: delete photo but not deleted
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18
You have to check with Messenger and/or TikTok on how to remove the photos from those apps that you have used to send/receive the photos. It was not iOS 18.5 that changed any behavior in those apps, but those apps certainly could have had an update themselves that changed its behavior. Take Messenger for example, it has been updated 11 times in just the last month. App updates happen in the background by default and you don't even know they were updated unless you pay attention to the small blue dot that appears next to the app icon after it has been updated.
If you have a problem with an app not working correctly, then it is the developer of the app that will need to provide an update to resolve a problem. Apple cannot do that.
And again, deleting photos from the Photos app will not remove the photo from any other app that has saved that photo, for example if it was sent to another person. No app has permission to delete data from another app because they are all sandboxed in their own workspace.

You will need to delete them from those apps. When using the photo in those apps, they are also stored there in your activity/history. Removing the photo from the Photos app does not remove any data that is stored by other apps.
You can delete a photo in your photo library from your phone. But that doesn't mean they will be removed from apps like TikTok or Messenger. You'd have to contact them to see if you can remove a photo you may have posted there. That has nothing to do with Apple or iPhone.
I want to explain with what I wrote that I deleted the photos I've been talking about for a long time from my phone everywhere, but when I go to messenger and start sending something and it appears there in my gallery, it seems to be a bug from 18.05. And I deleted TikTok, one of the apps, but nothing changed.
Can you give me another solution?
Deleted iPhone photos still show up in Messenger and TikTok after iOS 18.5 update
