Pranks to do on facetime

While lawmakers are doing everything they can to stop annoying robocalls and other unwanted telemarketers, it seems that scammers have decided to flip to a slightly different approach that’s outside the purview of the FCC and the carriers: Group FaceTime.As reported by Ars Technica, many iPhone users are getting bombarded with calls during all hours of the day, with the spammers using Group FaceTime to bypass normal call blocking restrictions.It’s not yet clear at this point what the purpose of the calls are, but according to the report, “Griefers behind the pranks call as many as 31 numbers at a time,” using Group FaceTime, creating a chain of chaos whereby well-meaning users on the receiving end may attempt to return the call, resulting in barrages of dozens of repeated calls in short succession. The high volume of callbacks appears to be the result of other people receiving the call dialing everyone back when the initial call fails shortly after answering. As more and more people receive follow-on calls, they too begin making callbacks.Ars TechnicaThis seems to be more of a very inconsiderate prank right now than something that’s being employed by telemarketers or robocallers, but it’s becoming widespread, nonetheless, with the Apple Discussion Forums filling up with people reporting this problem and wondering exactly how to prevent it. Sadly, there’s not much that can be done to prevent this right now. Even though iOS 14 offers some call blocking features, many of these don’t apply to FaceTime.For example, although Apple added a “Silence Unknown Callers” setting in iOS 13, this only works for normal phone calls — it doesn’t apply to FaceTime calls at all. The same also applies to the carrier-specific “Silence Junk Callers” feature added in iOS 14.Frankly, we think that’s an omission that Apple needs to fix, and hopefully, this latest round of spam calls will be the wake-up call that Apple needs to do so. Meanwhile, however, there are a couple of things you can do to help mitigate the problem. Sadly, these won’t make the calls go away entirely, but they’re better than nothing.Call BlockingUnlike
