My girlfriend just updated her phone and wanted to see what the new call screen looked like so when I was with her I called her. When she answered she put her phone on speaker and all we heard were two people talking in a different language.
Anyone know why or how this happened? Hacked Apple account, or just a random coincidence? Thanks!
These things happen. You need to remember that virtually EVERY phone call happening in the USA is being recorded and monitored.
What used to happen to me, I would call with my mom. We would talk for an hour or so and then the call would drop, only for her to be calling me immediately. I mean, like the moment I pulled my phone away from my head, there was a call coming in. I would answer it and it was a recording of my mom. FROM THE BEGINNING of the phone call. And it was only her voice. From an hour ago.
I would hang up, call her back and we would get connected no problem.
The phone system is way F*ckier than we realize.
I worked in a call center several years ago, and our phone system had a similar bug to this. all of our calls were recorded, and sometimes I would start hearing a recording of the caller. for them the call disconnected, but on my end it appeared as if we still were in the call. it was weird.
