      In a temporary cache directory. If you’re on Android, you can clear it by going to your app settings, viewing storage usage on whichever app you used to view this, and clearing the cache. For example, the app I use for lemmy currently has 100MB in it’s cache. My Firefox app on my phone currently has 555MB is cached files. This can includes things such as web pages, JavaScript files, and the images I’ve encountered while visiting the web who knows when, I rarely clear that shit.

        I always assumed that was cleared automatically after time.

          It is, probably.

          But it won’t be written over with zeros, so it’s all still there until something else actually writes over it. A mobile device is flash memory, so the controller wear leveling might not get back to that spot for a bit. It might decide that spot is a bad sector and never write over it.

            Regardless. He can’t be seeing this or downloading it unknowingly was my point. It can’t be happening in the background. If he is viewing it, it’s known.

              The person in the article who apparently viewed it multiple times over a long period of time absolutely did so deliberately.

              I think the point in sending you the image was to show that, in general, it is possible for images to be present on your computer without you actively attempting to access them. Not to say that the argument was valid in this particular case.

                Well that’s my point. Is they aren’t there just on accident. But it’s being taken as he didn’t do it. He absolutely did it. The mechanism of how that exists is clearer now, but my point still stands. He didn’t not view them causing them to be in temporary memory on accident. That doesn’t happen.

                  Dude, someone posted that picture, explained to you how that unwarranted picture is now in the cache on your phone, and you’re just doubling down? Come on. That was a top tier and educated explanation. Why ask the question in the first place if you don’t want the answer?

                    Because I said it in the first statement. It didn’t happen by accident. If you want to be rude I can come give you my address and you can try and act tough to my face and see how that works out for you. I stand by what I said and the facts fully support what I said. It wasn’t an accident he was watching child porn. Now either grow a pair or lose you posture. Get it?
