There has been a wave of unwanted calls via FaceTime recently . If you have received a FaceTime call from unknown you are far from alone in the job .
Some FaceTime users – including myself – have been have group FaceTime call up from unknown numbers .
I receive a radical FaceTime call on the morning of Friday 12 March 2021 . There were seventeen other participants . I evidently did n’t answer because I was now funny , so I do n’t know what the nature of the call was . But I be intimate it was wary .
It appears I am not alone , but I was favourable that the call get along during the day . on the face of it some users have incur about twenty calls in the eye of the nighttime .
We addressed the job by block every link include in the group call ( we ’ll excuse how to do that below ) . This did block the trouble for us , but there have been report that the callers then switch to another number and redial .
Unfortunately there is no FaceTime setting that stimulate it possible to block all calls from people who are not in the contact list , something that is potential for regular phone call . ( Read : How to block a caller on iPhone . )
However , it is possible to freeze a caller-out on FaceTime .

But , if you were mindful that the nuisance called was using one of the email addresses you have associated with FaceTime to get through you , you could just murder that from the ‘ you’re able to be pass on by FaceTime at ’ section .
In our grammatical case we assume that they were using our iCloud address because the farsighted list of player were all iCloud address . ( They were also all called Karen , which might suggest that a data leak has charter spot ) . There were also a number of UK phone Book of Numbers included too . In sum there were 17 participant .
