Forbes uncovered the bug when journalist Andy Greenberg managed to send a video from a locked iPhone running iOS 7 .

The bug can be triggered by pressing the “emergency” button on the iPhone. Type in any number, then quickly tap the green call button until you see the Apple — the same screen that appears when the phone turns on. The phone will start dialing the number you typed.
