Anyone with an Apple device with FaceTime will want to disable the feature after the discovery of a bug that lets users listen in on people they're calling without them picking up, CNN reported.
The bug also allows users to see through the front-facing camera of the person they’re calling.
Flagged by 9to5Mac on Monday, the bug was recreated and verified by people on social media, according to CNN.
