Dears,

 

I have a question.

I cropped a picture using Samsung Photo Editor on Samsung to remove confidential data.

 

I shared it with someone.

Can he revert to the original?

When I download back the picture to my gallery I am able to revert. Which makes me concerned.

Thanks for the reply 

Regards

@Alpli No they won't be able to use Revert to get back the original photo.

@LongHiker Thank you for the answer

Actually I uploaded a cropped photo on a social platform. The original picture contains confidential data.

But when I downloaded again the cropped picture from the platform I still was able to restore the original in my smartphone.

This made me very stressed thinking that the platform would also been able to restore it.

@Alpli After you posted it, did you delete the original from your Gallery and empty the Gallery trash before downloading it again?

I quickshared a cropped photo to another phone. There was no Revert available on the other phone.

@LongHiker  yes I did.

I deleted the original and trash and even cache and app data.

And I am still able to revert it. The cropped is 65kb while the original is above 1mb.

So I don't know where phone editor stores the original so that it can revert it.

BECAUSE WHEN I sent it to another phone and there I was hopefully not able to revert.

Also when I share it with dual whatsapp I am not able to revert that one.

 

Here is an exemple picture to test.
