Apple Releases iOS 12.1.4 to Fix FaceTime Bug

After a week in which security problems have been the trend around Apple, either because of it or because of others, the company has launched the promised version of iOS that solves the failure for which it is directly responsible. Last week there was a serious security flaw that caused Apple to disable group FaceTime calls, since someone could listen to you without your consent using this type of communication.

iOS 12.1.4 arrives to solve this important failure that had great repercussion in the media, and which Apple did not want to pay attention to when a user tried to communicate it to them before it was known. After acknowledging it and offering an interim solution that eliminated the risk that someone could 'spy' on us, Apple has already fixed it completely and we can update our devices to use that function again.

Group calls using FaceTime came as a great novelty in iOS 12, and have been the protagonists of Apple's latest advertising campaign on television in an advertisement in which several Elvis imitators sing one of their songs in group using FaceTime. A somewhat "far-fetched" trick meant that someone who called you and then started a rump call could hear you before you accepted the call yourself. That problem no longer exists with iOS 12.1.4, and everyone who updates to this new version will now be able to use Group FaceTime calling again. It is important to know that whoever does not update to this version will not be able to use this feature of iOS 12.

As we said at the beginning, in addition to this security problem, Apple has been the unwanted protagonist of other problems related to Facebook and Google, which caused the company to withdraw the business certificates of these two companies, although they were soon restored in both when the bad one was solved. use they were making of them. The news has also appeared this week of how several applications of the App Store collect information from their users and even screen recordings without your consent, in another clear violation of the rules of the App Store and on which Apple has not yet acted but we hope it will soon fix.
