Published January 29, 2019

A new bug in Apple’s FaceTime has left iPhone users infuriated through which people can eavesdrop on another user before they even answer the call.

A recent flaw was noted in Apple’s FaceTime video chat feature that allowed anyone to listen to the user they are calling even regardless of them answering the call.

The bug was initially reported by 9to5Mac and has affected any Apple iPhone, Mac, or iPad that can run FaceTime video chat. The bug lets someone to dial one of their contacts and listen in to the recipient’s microphone before the user actually answers the call. This can be done by using ‘add a person’ feature after dialing the contact, and then adding up one’s own number as the third person.

Moreover, The Verge also found out that if the person being called pushes the power or the volume button on their iPhone to dismiss the FaceTime call, it can actually send the caller a video feed too.

However, Apple took notice of the bug and a representative informed Business Insider, “We’re aware of this issue and we have identified a fic that will be released in a software update later this week.”

Exasperated users took to Twitter to express their anger over this new privacy bug. Some users also advised iPhone owners to switch off FaceTime by going into settings until the bug if fixed by Apple.
