Why iOS 10.3 requires an extra tap to make a phone call | Macworld
When you install iOS 10.3, if you havent already, youll notice that theres now an extra step to make a phone call. Before the update, tapping on a phone number would immediately initiate a call. Now, you have to confirm that you want to dial that number before the dialing begins. Theres a really good reason for this weird change.According to the Wall Street Journal, an 18-year-old hacker allegedly wrote malicious code that, when tapped, would force your iPhone to dial 911 over and over. The prank led to thousands of 911 calls that overwhelmed emergency response systems in several states. There may have been people trying to reach a 911 operator that couldnt because of the auto-dialing.The code worked by exploiting the iOS auto-dialing feature, whoch is why Apple had to turn it off. Now you have to confirm that you want to make a call before the phone will initiate one.
