FaceTime has back door

Nothing indicates a backdoor into FaceTime. Just like anyone can call you with your phone number, they can also use FaceTime if they know your Apple ID. You would deal with this the same way as an unwanted phone call by blocking it.

This is a dead link. Where did you get this information?

If you feel that this incident is part of a larger issue or if you continue to receive unwanted communications, you may also want to contact local authorities to report the incident and seek further advice.

I think we all know where that post came from. The guideline to test what you post is becoming more important.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Receiving an unexpected FaceTime call from someone you don't know can be unsettling. Here are some steps you can take to address this situation:

1. Block the Caller: It's good that you've already blocked the caller. This will prevent them from contacting you again via FaceTime.
2. Report to Apple: You can report unwanted FaceTime calls to Apple. Go to Apple's report page and provide the details of the incident.
3. Change Privacy Settings: To enhance your privacy and reduce the chances of unknown people contacting you:

• • Go to "Settings" on your iPhone.
  • Select "FaceTime."
  • Turn off "FaceTime" if you don't use it often.
  • Alternatively, restrict FaceTime calls to your contacts only by adjusting the settings in "Settings" > "FaceTime" > "Blocked Contacts" and adding unknown numbers to this list.

1. Review Apple ID Security: Ensure your Apple ID is secure. Change your password and enable two-factor authentication if you haven't already done so. This will add an extra layer of security to your account.

If you feel that this incident is part of a larger issue or if you continue to receive unwanted communications, you may also want to contact local authorities to report the incident and seek further advice.

Thank you for reaching out, and I hope this helps you feel more secure.

Best regards,

Knanaya

They get a onetime benefit of the doubt. But, yes, you're right. It was bad enough when yo couldn't get links from ChatGPT.
