The bug allows anyone to call you and hear the audio from your phone, ***regardless of if you answer the phone or not***. In some cases it has been reported that video can be seen as well. Apple is working on this issue and is promising to fix it in an update later this week. Until then, we are suggesting that you disable FaceTime on your phone and stay up to date on system updates. - To learn more about this bug, click [here](https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2019/01/29/apple-confirms-iphone-facetime-eavesdropping-exploit-heres-what-to-do/#a2d3b77745b4) or watch this [video.](https://www.today.com/video/apple-scrambles-to-fix-facetime-eavesdropping-bug-1433643587722) - For step by step instructions on how to disable FaceTime, click [here.](https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/29/tech/facetime-bug-how-to-deactivate-scli-intl/index.html) This issue is a definite security concern.
