Summary: 

In the iOS address book, merely touching a phone number initiates a call. This can easily be done accidentally. By making FaceTime calls so easy to accidentally start, you've made them highly discoverable but you violate user privacy by initiating unwanted FaceTime calls on our behalf. 

Expected Results: A confirmation dialog or other process for ensuring that starting a FaceTime confirmation is explicitly desired by the user.

Actual Results: See above.
