MANILA, Philippines – A recently-discovered bug appears to be causing Messages on iOS to crash if your iPhone receives a specific string of text from another number.
According to MacRumors, the bug was first noticed on Reddit, requiring a specific string of symbols and Arabic characters to be sent to activate the bug.
Gizmodo added that if the message is sent while the iPhone is locked, it will also cause the iPhone to reboot. The Verge, in its investigation, said that the bug will work regardless of the device the message is sent from.
The bug can be undone by replying to the text message in iMessage with any other string of text, using a third-party app to send a message to your phone, or asking Siri to send a reply to the text. – Rappler.com
