iPhone rings when receiving an attachment on Skype

Hi,

 

A strange one which I can't find any info on when doing a Google search.....

 

I'm a user of Skype For Business(SFB). All was working well until around 2 weeks ago. When a colleague sends me any form of attachment via SFB, SFB on my iPhone then starts ringing. It shows on my iPhone that the person who's trying to send an attachment is trying to call me. If i try to answer the call it sits on connecting and doesn't do anything which i guess is expected as the colleague never initiated a phone call. The attachments sent are received fine on my laptop.

 

On my laptop i'm using O365 SFB. V 16.0.13231.20372

iPhone XR - SFB V 6.27.0.1

 

Thanks,

Nick

      So it seems to be an issue with the latest version of the app then.

       

      Unlike some other apps, I couldn't find a way to report this directly to MS. Hopefully someone at MS will come across this feed and work on a bug fix?

    We have the same issue on our on-premise Skype for Business environment.

    Also using iPhones. No Android phones have reporting it (yet).

    Issue started after installing the latest Cumulative Update.

     

    (Skype for Business Server 2015 Cumulative Update 11 Hotfix 1 (KB 3061064) - July 14, 2020)

     

    Kind regards,

    Mark

     

    EDIT 20-11-2020:

    I see there was an update 2 weeks ago on the SfB app on the iPhone. Also related to "bug fixes" and "notifications". We haven't seen the issue yet with android phones, so maybe it is Apple related.

      We have the Bug in a S4B 2019 OnPrem environment that User A is sharing his desktop with User B. Immediately after sharing desktop the S4B IOS App starts ringing on User B's iPhone.

       

      Stopping sharing and doing the same the other way (User B shares his desktop) then User A gets this "call" - it is no call actually. It can be declined and will stop after about 30 seconds.

       

      Skype IOS Version   6.27.1.6        Appstore   6.27.1                  IOS 14.3

      Skype 2019 Servers have latest Update CU4HF1 from November 2020.

       

      anyone else having this behaviour?

    Yes, my organization has the same problem. Started happening approximately 2 weeks ago.

     

    We are using Skype for Business Online. My org migrated from on-premise Skype to Online approximately 6 months ago. No idea if that is relevant or not.

     

    We have Teams/Skype co-existence mode set to 'Islands'. Again, no idea if that is relevant or not.
