Yesterday, social media was all abuzz about a bug in Apple’s Group FaceTime video calling service. This bug allowed callers to listen in on people they were calling and also send a video to the caller, even if they haven’t picked up their phone. Apple said this issue will be addressed in a software update later this week. Currently, they have disabled Group FaceTime in iOS and MacOS.
In a statement to news reporting sites, an Apple spokesperson said, “We are aware of this issue and we have identified a fix that will be released in a software update later this week.”
According to 9To5Mac, this bug affects iOS devices which are running on iOS 12.1 or later. In their report published yesterday, 9To5Mac shared how this bug works:
This is not the first time a bug has been reported regarding Group FaceTime, which was first introduced in October last year. In November, a lock screen security flaw was discovered that provided access to all contact information and allows activating a FaceTime call.
