Apple has gone out of their way to fuck with the government trying to get data from people phones, I really don't think this was something done on purpose to help them.
The data has to be stored somewhere to be shown, so a temporary spot existing isn't a surprise. It almost sounds more like lazy developers not thinking the government could access the history that only gets purged after X amount of time, instead of continually being pruned.
Remember when the fbi wanted access to a perp’s iPhone and they told the govt to fuck off?
