A bug in iOS 13 that allows others to skip the lock screen to see your contacts

IOS 13 has not yet been launched, although we have heard that it could be released next week. However, it seems that even before the release of this update, some bugs had already been detected. In fact, a bug detected in this system allows an unauthorized user to bypass the phone lock screen to access your contact list.

This flaw was discovered by Jose Rodriguez and passed on to The Verge. Jose Rodriguez revealed this bug in iOS 13 for the first time on July 17, but it still seems to be present in the Golden Master version of iOS 13. If you've never heard of Golden Master before, this is the name given to the version. Official and final iOS system that Apple is preparing to launch for general users.

This means that when the iOS 13 update is finally available to the general public, this bug should remain. For the operating method, the user having a FaceTime conversation and then accessing VoiceOver from Siri. This will allow the user to access your contacts list even when the phone screen is closed.

We do not know yet why this bug has not been corrected by Apple yet, but to exploit it, the other party will have to physically access your iPhone. So it does not seem that anyone can do it at a distance. Watch the video below to see how this bug is exploited.
