Apple delays FaceTime bug fix until next week - The Verge

Posted: 01 Feb 2019 06:37 AM PST

Apple has delayed a software update that will restore the use of group FaceTime after the feature was disabled this week because of a bug that allowed callers to eavesdrop on call recipients, reports MacRumors. The bug fix was initially supposed to arrive this week, according to a statement the company gave on Monday.

The bug was apparently reported to Apple days before it was actually addressed, and in a statement, Apple now says it is "committed to improving" how it deals with bug reports in the future. The company is also thanking by name the family of the teenager who first found and reported the bug, only to be unable to get the company's attention. Apple also apologized to customers and says it is "committed to continuing to earn the trust Apple customers."

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's latest star, Piranha Plant, is now available for all players as paid-for DLC on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

As you'll no doubt be aware, Piranha Plant joined Smash's roster earlier this week for all players who had purchased the game and registered it to their Nintendo accounts before 31st January. While it has always been known that the character would become available to all at some point in the future, specific details hadn't been shared until now.

If you head over to the eShop, a quick search for 'Piranha Plant' will find the DLC option waiting for you. Alternatively, it also appears on the page for the main game. You can download it right now for £4.49 / $4.99.
