The bug affecting the Apple’s Group FaceTime was active on all the Apple devices running on iOS 12.1 or later and on devices running on Mac OS Mojave.
Apple has temporarily disabled the Group FaceTime feature on iOS and Mac OS after reports of the feature suffering a major security bug surfaced online. The Cupertino, California based company said that it will release a software update later this week to patch the flaw that allows iPhone users to listen in on conversations even when their call hasn’t been picked up.
« We’re aware of this issue and have identified a fix that will be released in a software update later this week, » an Apple spokesperson said in a statement to Reuters.
The company has also flagged the issue on its System Status page and disabled the Group FaceTime feature from server side.
