    apple should have had this fixed long before

    not if it was intentional. I mean apple bends over for authoritarian governments around the world. This could easily be used as a state surveillance apparatus and casually “fixed” when discovered down the road as a “bug”.

      yeah I agree that it was intentional. I can’t believe Apple didn’t properly test this feature. But I didn’t want to speculate without actual proof
