Apple has disabled group FaceTime on their end. https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
Oh damn, they can do it just like that?
I thought FaceTime was a P2P thing... but it appears group FT requires Apple's servers?

You need to integrate the famous iTunes into this thesis. (people have complained about it approximately since it was released)
>You need to integrate the famous iTunes into this thesis. Desktop iTunes is a dumpster fire, but their iOS software is what I was specifically referring to.
I actually liked some of the versions of iTunes for Windows back when I had to use it with an iPod Touch around 2008 to 2012 or so. For just playing music from my music library, the interface wasn't bad. You just had to turn off the option to automatically convert everything into Apple's format.

It never was (or only was for a short period) thanks to patent trolls.

#205Looks like iPhone spyware. I doubt that FaceTime is the first use of this "bug"!

is it not enough to disable FaceTime for the time being?
It probably is, but when you are freaked out you want certainty.
Better remove the battery too. https://www.tomsguide.com/us/nsa-remotely-turn-on-phones,new...

Very few communication services are truly P2P; it's way more likely to have syncing issues and is virtually impossible without at least a handshake. Even Signal, which does have syncing issues due to being mostly P2P, requires a server for the initial handshake.

This sound horrifying. If I use a hacked/modified FaceTime client, does this mean I'll be able to hear and see the other end before they pick up, even after the fix?
Facetime calls are end to end encrypted so I doubt a modified client would work.
How would E2E encryption stop a modified client? E2E protects against MITM. But we're not talking about MITM.
