FaceTime bug lets you hear audio of person you are calling before they pick up

I just called my friend who was already on a call talking to his brother. He could hear me and his brother but his brother and I couldn't hear each other.

I was also able to call him, have him hang up and then see his video and hear his audio. He couldn't hear me, but I could hear and see everything.

I'm turning my phone off tonight!

is it not enough to disable FaceTime for the time being?

You may not even have to do that. It looks like Apple disabled Group FaceTime server side[1].

It probably is, but when you are freaked out you want certainty.
