[Awareness] Disable Facetime on your Apple Devices till a Patch is Released

UPDATE: Apple marked Group Facetime as “temporarily unavailable.”

If you are reading this on an iPhone, you might want to stop reading and immediately go into your settings and disable Facetime.

Apple confirmed an unpatched bug in group Facetime app that allows a caller to see and listen to you without even picking up the phone!

The bug was reported in January 21st by @MFT7500

My teen found a major security flaw in Apple’s new iOS. He can listen in to your iPhone/iPad without your approval. I have video. Submitted bug report to @AppleSupport…waiting to hear back to provide details. Scary stuff! #apple #bugreport @foxnews
