Is this a bug, or an undocumented feature provided by off-shore developers? I’m guessing we will never know.

I’m no Apple fan, but most likely a defect. It happens in ALL software. With a little over 16k linux redhat’s we maintain, the security patching is never ending... just like with iOS, MacOS, Android, Windows, etc etc.

I like the delay in smart phones from when you hit the button to hang it up and when it actually hangs up and cuts the audio. I stay on and listen until it does finally cut it. Caught my adult kids talking crap about me many times because they thought the phone was hung up and I couldn’t hear them. lol

If you are going to dump on who you just got off the phone with, it is a good practice to wait about 10 seconds after you hit the button before you do.

Apparently Apple has shut down Group Face Time.

On an iPad, I tried to follow the instructions to disable FaceTime. No control that Mac9to5 had described. Then I found out why: I had never signed in to use FaceTime.

And more than likely I never will.

😂 There’s a reason cell phones and smart watches and other electronics are not allowed in certain facilities. Your phone is always listening and sending data somewhere.

Just the other day I listen in on some guy named Swordmaker. He was saying how much he likes Microsoft Windows 10 : )
