Q: My iPhone 6 (iOS 9) keeps deleting ALL of my stored photos worth 30 GB without me even touching the Photos app. Why is this happening?

Device: iPhone 6

Software: iOS 9.3.2 (Latest version)

Issue: Photos App

 

My iPhone/iOS keeps automatically "deleting" ALL of my photos/videos worth 30+GB. This started around 1 month ago (June 2016) and has been doing so every week or so.

 

I use quotation marks because the photos/videos aren't really deleted because none of the storage space has been recovered, and the photos/videos eventually come back (in small increments) a few hours later.

 

I'm wondering why this is happening especially after the 2nd time. (As I write this, this has happened to me 4 times already). I'm also worried that the photos/videos one day will be removed permanently without my consent. I've backed them all up to other free unlimited cloud services such as Flickr and Google Photos, but I'd like to keep them on my phone also.
