A user ran a Claude Code security audit on their iPhone and found two shocking caches: 12,847 front-camera/infrared face captures in the Face ID cache (com.apple.faceid), each timestamped and geotagged, taken almost every time the phone was picked up; and 145,763 files in PhotoData/Thumbnails — three years of 'permanently' deleted photos and videos, readable by any app with file access, including passport photos.
