Want to see a really bad bug? You can FaceTime any iOS device running 12.1 and listen in remotely—WITHOUT THE OTHER PERSON ANSWERING THE CALL. (via @bzamayo) 9to5mac.com/2019/01/28/fac…
1. Start a FaceTime video call.
2. While it's still ringing, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and click "Add Person."
3. Add your own phone number to the call.
You'll now be able to hear the microphone from the other device, even if the owner is nowhere nearby.

Just tested in our office. The other iPhone rang for a minute, and then the call was marked as "Failed"... but I could still hear everything on the other end. 😱
I don't know about you, but I'm disabling FaceTime on my Mac and iPhone until this is resolved.
I couldn't reproduce this myself, but @backlon is reporting in The Verge that dismissing the call with the power or volume button will not only broadcast audio, but VIDEO TOO. theverge.com/2019/1/28/1820…
As of 7:16pm PST, Apple disabled the Group FaceTime feature server-side for everyone.
