🚨 A logic flaw in Group FaceTime could let someone force you to answer a call, even when you’re busy! 📞 Think of it like someone at a party who can shout your name loud enough to get you to answer, no matter how uninterested you are in talking to them. This flaw undermines your ability to manage your own conversations, just like that party crasher who refuses to take a hint! Imagine a scenario where someone could call you repeatedly without your consent, leaving you vulnerable to unwanted attention and interruptions. This could lead to serious privacy breaches, as the recipient may inadvertently expose themselves in sensitive situations. With this flaw actively exploited, the consequences could feel absolutely overwhelming!
