Apple has finally pushed out a software update that offers a permanent fix for that embarrassing FaceTime bug that was disclosed almost two weeks ago and which resulted in an unwelcome barrage of negative publicity for a tech giant that’s made privacy a centerpiece of its corporate brand.
The fix comes in the form of a new iOS update available now — iOS 12.1.4 — which corrects the bug that allowed users with the latest iOS software to initiate a call to anyone via FaceTime and immediately start hearing audio on the other person’s end even before they accepted or rejected the call. Apple quickly disabled the Group FaceTime capability last Monday as it prepped a fix, then said a software update correcting the problem would come by the end of last week before acknowledging a slight delay.
