“We thank Thompson family for bug reporting. We apologize sincerely to our customers who have been affected and all who concerned about security issue,” said Apple in official statement according to the CNBC.

Thankfully, the users soon can get back for making Group FaceTime apps calls as software patch is on it's way.

“We've fixed Group FaceTime security bug on the Apple's servers and we'll issue software update for re-enabling the feature for the users next week,” that added Apple.

Apple also had barred the Group FaceTime calls for the entire users after bug was discovered. With help of big you could hear other person automatically on the Group FaceTime by just simply making call to them. Other party isn't naturally aware of caller hearing them.

Apple said, “We want to ensure our customers that quickly our engineering team has became aware of details necessary to reproduce bug, they quickly disabled all Group FaceTime & began work on fix,”

On it's part, Apple have been quickly respond to bug and seems to disabled the flaws remotely. Company's system status page has shown that Group FaceTime feature temporarily unavailable. Therefore, users aren't able to add the other iPhone users for making a Group call on FaceTime. Even if try it right now, you will not be able to add person to one to one group FaceTime call.
