What Is Apple Doing About It?
If this bug has you freaked out, take a deep breath and don’t worry. As of the writing of this article, Apple has completely disabled the Group FaceTime feature to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the security flaw.
Group FaceTime is listed as “currently unavailable,” which means that no iOS or macOS user should be able to access it. Without Group FaceTime, there’s no way to access the vulnerability — so your privacy and data is safe.
Apple also said that it is aware of the issue and has “identified a fix” for the underlying bug. The Cupertino tech giant said the fix will be included in a software update “later this week,” though it’s not clear when exactly that might be.
