What you need to know about the Facetime Glitch
If you're a frequent Facetime user, you might want to turn it off until Apple fixes a recent glitch that actually allows callers to listen and see the people they're calling, even if they don't answer. Creepy much?

So, if you call someone over Facetime, you might be able to hear and see them before they answer your call. Or, even if they don't answer your call. Apple has disabled group Facetime for now, and are currently working on a software update that should be out by the end of the week that will deal with this glitch. Until then, we suggest going into your Settings (and don't forget about your kid's phone too) and disabling Facetime until you have the new update on your phone or tablet.
