Viral TikTok iPhone hack is unlocking the internet\u2019s eavesdropping dreams Apple\/TiktokThere\u2019s a new iPhone hack going viral on Tiktok that has users dreaming up ways they could use their phones to eavesdrop on conversations they\u2019re not invited to. A video from Agents of Shield Actor Elizabeth Henstridge has Tiktok users questioning the morality behind a little-known iPhone feature called \u2018Live Listen.\u2019 This is a mode in Apple\u2019s iPhone settings that allows users to listen to conversations happening up to 50ft. away from their device through the use of an exterior Bluetooth-capable device. While this feature primarily serves as a sort of hearing aid for users with audio impairments, the internet has come up with several creative ways to put the extended range capabilities to the test in their everyday lives. Viral Tiktok questions the morality of iPhone\u2019s Live Listen feature When Henstridge\u2019s video started to blow up, it took no time at all for the Marvel star\u2019s comment section to flood with users sharing their experiences with the program, or how they would like to use it in the future. One of the more nefarious ideas was to listen in on the dinner table while you\u2019re away: \u201cSo at family gatherings when I step out of the room I can hear what they\u2019re saying about me now? Bet.\u201d Similarly, u\/Stephanieresists imagined a world of chaos erupting from the adoption of this technology: \u201cA whole messy trail of broken marriages and relationships in 3\u20262\u20261\u2026\u201d Someone else added that this is just S.H.I.E.L.D\u2019s way of watching over Henstridge\u2019s Dr. Simmons, claiming, \u201cIt\u2019s Coulson and Fury keeping tabs on you!\u201d How to setup Live Listen on iPhone If you want to activate the feature for yourself, you\u2019ll need to dive into your settings. Open the Accessibility menu – Select Hearing Devices – Locate your device under MFi Hearing Devices – Start Live Listen – Once you\u2019ve tapped the button, you can leave your device behind while still listening to everything going on in the immediate area of your phone. Whenever you\u2019re done, simply click \u201cEnd Live Listen\u201d to stop the audio transmission until you turn it back on. There\u2019s plenty of room to use this feature practically, but be careful what you decide to listen in on \u2013 you might be better off not hearing it at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
