The bug lets you call anyone with FaceTime, and immediately hear the audio coming from their phone — before the person on the other end has accepted or rejected the incoming call. Apple says the issue will be addressed in a software update “later this week”.
I never understand how bugs like this happen. How does the microphone get opened before the user presses ok? Why does that codepath even exist?
