Glitch raises privacy concerns among iPhone users

Although Apple has not yet officially acknowledged the issue, some users suggest that the issue may be linked to a bug in iOS 18. It’s worth noting that these incidents have raised concerns among iPhone users, with many users questioning the cause and potential privacy risks.

This is not the first time, in the past too many users have complained about phantom sounds from their devices. In January last year, a user wrote on Apple Discussions that he experienced random “duhdam” noises while using iMessage and Apple Music. Meanwhile, several users in the replies section said that they too have experienced similar issues.

Notably, Apple has recently released iOS 18.2 beta 3 and iOS 18.1, but the solutions to these issues are not mentioned. However, hopefully affected users may find a fix in the public release of iOS 18.2, which is expected to be released on December 9.
