A newly found bug surrounding iOS and Messages has emerged that causes the app to continuously crash when a certain text is received. If the text is received while the phone is on the lock screen, it also causes your iPhone to reboot without any notice or explanation. This is obviously a very big problem for iPhone users, especially those with mischievous friends and enemies.
This isn’t the first time a bug like this has emerged; in fact, it has happened several times in the past. Apple usually fixes the issue in a timely matter, but until it’s fixed, it is a rather malicious problem.
Thankfully, the ability to crash Messages and reboot someone’s iPhone is limited to iPhone-to-iPhone communication (Update: Android to iPhone as well) and a certain specific strand of text. Since the character strand is so specific, most people should never accidentally experience the crashing. Anyone who does experience the crashing was likely singled out on purpose as a target.
