iOS 12.1.4 Patches Major FaceTime Security Flaw

iOS 12.1.4 is the latest software update available for iPhones and iPads and it a must perform upgrade, especially if your device is running iOS 12.1 or later. iOS 12.1, iOS 12.1.1, iOS 12.1.2 and iOS 12.1.3 are all versions that include a major vulnerability in the FaceTime app. Basically, anyone of your contact is able to spy you audio or video using your iPhone’s microphone or camera, while performing a simple Group FaceTime call in a specific sequence.

This security issue is, in our opinion, the biggest fault that ever slipped past Apple’s testers in the history of iOS! The privacy of millions of iPhone and iPad users. So, if you haven’t embraced iOS 12.1.4 yet, make sure that you don’t waste anymore time. The update is available over-the-air and can be immediately performed via the Settings app. All that you have to do is browse for Settings -> General -> Software Update and hit the Download and Install button.
