As I suggested, Apple was able to “solve” the FaceTime problem on the server side. They apparently disabled Group FaceTime. The company has told several media outlets it plans to release a software fix this week. Ostensibly, they can suppress Group FaceTime on unpatched devices. pic.twitter.com/4X742ZQbsM

It looks like Apple have disabled Group FaceTime calls, which should mitigate this issue until they push a software update.

Apple wasted little time in making sure the problem didn’t get out of hand. According to Apple’s System Status page, Group FaceTime, which is the risk, is currently unavailable until iOS update initiated later this week. I have confirmed this with my phone. @whitehatterteam

More information: Apple trolled other Smartphone manufacturer on Privacy
Group Facetime bug can be reproduced by making video call to a person in your contacts, then tap on “Add person” followed by own number. A group call is initiated in such a way that you could be able to hear the person you called even before they answer the call. Actually, this exploit comes into light after when Apple had trolled other Smartphone manufacturer on the privacy. Apple had put up billboards in CES in Las Vegas this year saying what happens on your iPhone stays on your phone. Now the company itself is getting trolled for this.
1. Start a FaceTime video call.
2. While it’s still ringing, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and click “Add Person.”
3. Add your own phone number to the call.You’ll now be able to hear the microphone from the other device, even if the owner is nowhere nearby.
