Yes, the same questions are asked over and over again. I frequent xda Magisk forums and it is the same there, even when the requirements to post are stated in the OP (opening page). People just go to the end and blindly post without reading back even a page.
“It’s groundhog day - again”. Great movie. And thx for reminding. Live stream this saturday
Could be beta 2 this week to fix the FaceTime bug on iOS 12.2 beta 1.
Due to the seriousness of this bug, they need to patch beta testers and public release users as soon as possible. Therefore they should provide a fix to both 12.2 beta and public in the form of 12.1.4 this week.
my guess is this 12.1.4 update will be out at any given time once the bug has been fixed. not necessarily your typical 10:00 am PST / 1 PM Pcf time.
Anyone that had a device that supported Group FaceTime could have been, technically speaking, but at this point with Group FaceTime disabled while an actual fix is being worked on, no one should be exposed to it.
They’ll likely be released the same day. Apple can’t afford to let this go any longer than necessary. I would expect a staggered release though. Will be interesting, as I’m not sure Apple has done 2 different releases on the same day before. But they also have not had many issues of this magnitude, either.

The fact that Group FaceTime is disabled negates the issue for the time being. I suspect 12.1.4 will drop a day before 12.2 beta 2.
Good point. However, that does mean a critical feature remains unavailable for some key users.
Yes and no. Folks may be forced to use other applications for group chat/video versus Apple's solution. If Apple waits too long on the fix, folks may just stick to the other solutions.
I think they're going to try to get this done in one day if they possibly can. Might mean a 1 pm EST and a 6pm EST release for 12.1.4 and 12.2 b2 respectively.
Group FaceTime hasn’t been a thing for 7 years since the release of FaceTime. Saying that people will find and stick to another solution if they don’t fix it right away is nothing more than an exaggeration.
nothing today about the facetime bug being fixed. 9to5mac has not reported anything yet. must still be working on it. i would think later in the week falls into the wed-friday timeframe.
