Apple Disables Watch Walkie Talkie App Due to Security Flaw That Let You Eavesdrop on iPhones

Apple has decided to disable the Walkie Talkie app on its WatchOS 5 watch. The app could potentially allow a person to eavesdrop on another’s iPhone. Apple says there have been no reports of the vulnerability being used against actual customers. A ‘quick fix’ is currently in the works, but there’s no timeline on when the app will be fully functional again. In January, Apple fumbled handling a serious vulnerability that allowed teleconferencing app Zoom to hijack Mac computers.”]
