in iOS edited March 15 Apple device users are seeing an increase in FaceTime group call spam, with some forced to block hundreds of unknown numbers due to largely ineffective built-in privacy safeguards.
Detailed in an Apple Support Forums thread and social media posts, FaceTime users are facing a deluge of group calls from unknown numbers and accounts. Suspected to be the brainchild of griefers, these calls can trigger a chain reaction resulting in multiple, quick-succession callbacks in a short period of time.
As noted by
ArsTechnica, which first reported on the issue, pranksters can call up to 31 numbers at a time using FaceTime s group calling feature. When one person in the group hangs up or the call fails, a second call from a different number will ring everyone back. These secondary calls are typically returns from befuddled users.
