14-Year-Old, Discovered Apple's Face-Time Bug
Why It's In News?
At the bottom of Apple's security features, a brand new glitch has been founded, by a 14 years old boy, more than a week before apple took action.
"The thing I got amazed was that this glitch happened to me in the very first place," said Grant Thompson, a school student in Arizona. "I'm only 14 and I found it just by an accident, instead of the people, who get paid to find glitches inside iphones."
What Grant's Family Faced?
Grant and his mother said that they spent a week trying to send the glitches' information to apple, regarding the bug in Face-Time group chatting feature. This allows the other person to enable one's microphone even the first person has not received the phone.
"It took almost 9 days for a reply to come from that side, thanks to my mom, she contacted them every single day, call them, text them, did every possible way to reach them." Grant said.
Any Action Taken?
Apple has disabled group chat feature for now. Newyork state officials, have started a consumer rights investigation. All Users are raising their voices against the company's behaviour, how long they have taken to spot the glitch.
Friday, Apple thanked Grant and his family, that they has identified it as a bug and it's fix will be releasing next week. They will also resume the Face-Time feature from then.
"If a 14 year old could find it out, than i dont know how many users have faced such issues" said by a Official.
Although Apple didn't perform any delay, they said it was "committed to smoothen the process by which any bugs/glitches could be easily traced down, and could recieve those reports and reply them with a fix as soon as possible".
