The latest iPhone update has brought all sorts of new features, but one in particular might be the one you need to be most careful with! Provided you're on FaceTime with someone else with an iPhone and you're both using iOS 18 or later, you can now ask to take control of the device of the person you're on FaceTime with, and if they say yes, then you can muck about with their apps, dig around in their settings, and even send messages from their phone.
According to Apple, if you're in a one-to-one FaceTime with someone who is saved in your contacts where you both have the right tech and software, you'll be able to ask to take control of their phone and vice versa. If they say yes, then you'll be able to access their screen and start accessing apps on their phone.
While the remote control feature is active and someone can access your phone, Face ID and Touch ID are switched off and you can still control your own screen too, with your touches taking precedence over those of the person you gave permission to. You can also just say no to the request for remote control, and there's a big 'off' button at the bottom of your screen to kick the interloper out of your device.
