To recap: 404 Media spoke to someone who attended the trial in question, where the court learned that all iPhone notifications are stored in a database on the device. So even though the Signal messages were deleted, their notification data remained in this database, from where the FBI was able to obtain them. (The defendant's own messages weren't present, since only incoming texts would generate notifications.)
While we don't exactly have answers to those questions, we're perhaps a bit closer to them. On Wednesday, Apple dropped iOS 26.4.2. This update doesn't include any new features or changes, so don't expect your iPhone to look any different after you install it. In fact, the vague release notes only offer that the update "provides bug fixes and security updates for your iPhone." However, click through to Apple's security releases site, and you'll find the official security notes for 26.4.2. Here, we can see one bug fix for Notification Services: "Notifications marked for deletion could be unexpectedly retained on the device."
How to install iOS 26.4.2
If this update does indeed prevent actors from obtaining previously deleted notifications from our iPhones, it's a good idea to install it ASAP. To do so, head to Settings > General > Software Update, then follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the update. The same applies if you're on iOS 18 trying to install iOS 18.7.8.
