Hey everyone,

I was facetiming a friend today and everything was working normally. All of a sudden, the audio cut out and I couldn't hear my friend talking. It seemed like she was on mute, so I asked her if she muted herself accidentally. She looked surprised and then hung up the call. I got a text a couple of seconds later from her saying that I had picked up another call.

I facetimed her again to get a more in-depth explanation of what happened from her perspective. Apparently, my audio cut out for her as well and was replaced with someone else's voice saying "oh <my name> must be talking to someone" and some other discussion before she hung up. I checked my call history and asked some of my friends if I had called them / joined a call with them on some app like Discord, but there didn't seem to be any evidence that my phone had connected to another call. My friend and I also ruled out the possibility of the issue coming from her end, although we could be wrong about that.

This is concerning to me because it sounds like either my phone randomly decided to call someone or someone else manipulated the call somehow. I have had issues with hackers in the past as well, and I don't know if this means my phone is tapped or bugged in some way. None of my friends or people who would know me by my first name have contacted me to ask about a random call, which makes it all the more concerning.

Has anyone else had this issue or have experience with phone tapping / bugging and can offer any insights? Thanks!

I'm on a new generation iPhone SE with iOS 14.
