FaceTime bug lets you spy on a person you’re calling, here’s how you disable it.

January 29, 2019 | kimberlykaczmarek

If you weren’t aware already, FaceTime has a bug that lets people hear or see you even if you don’t answer the call on your iPhone.

People went to twitter posting the bug, calling out Apple for the issue.

Apple says there’s a fix coming later this week. But until that happens here is a way to disable FaceTime so you’re not vulnerable.

  • Open Settings
  • Choose FaceTime
  • Slide the button so that FaceTime is off (Basically so it’s not green anymore)

Then you’re all set!

“We’re aware of the issue and we have identified a fix that will be released in a software update later this week.” – Apple
