For the second time in two days is a bug in iOS 7 found that the first layer of security of iOS 7, you can work around it. Through a simple trick with emergency calls, is it possible to make a call with locked iPhones that have iOS 7 to run.

The trick works on a locked iPhone lock screen away to swipe, and for ’emergencies’. Here, the user can have a random telephone number. Would normally only emergency calls should be able to, but who quickly multiple times in a row on the green call button, getting in iOS7 after a time a black screen with the white Apple logo to be seen. Despite this black-screen-of-death shows the call, however, on the background to go on, no matter what number is entered.

The discoverer, a 27-year-old Palestinian, says to Forbes that the method also, for example, with international numbers and using all the providers works. Multiple sites report the workaround to be able to reproduce on the iPhone 5 and 4S. There are no messages on a iPhone 4 with iOS 7 works.

It is unclear when Apple comes up with an update which fixed the bug of undo.
