Apple Fixing FaceTime Eavesdropping Bug in iOS 12.1.4 Update Coming Today

Lesson learned. Don't throw poop at the wind at other companies like Facebook and Google in regards to privacy.

A needed fix and a huge bruise for Apple on the privacy front.

Many of you know I am a huge Apple defender, but this was a bad look. Good on Apple for getting it resolved, but this nonsense can't happen again.

But it will happen again and worse will occur. That's the nature of software. No developer is immune from bugs & issues.

How can you possibly equate intentional privacy violations from the two industry leading tracker and stalkers, with an unintentional bug that was found and fixed by a company that values privacy? Really?

Funny, I noticed this bug months ago when they turned on Facetime group. I just assumed it was designed to work that way or just an inherent limitation of how the technology was limited.

Too bad you missed out on the fame and the bounty money

So the bug still works because FaceTime should be back up, right?
