This Text Message Can Crash Any iPhone
- 9 years ago
There is a bug in iOS (somehow manages Unicode) is causing any iPhone to reboot and lock after receiving a simple SMS. We advise you not to try it, but if they are very bold, this is the text that is generating so much excitement:
effective.
Power

If you send that text string to anyone with an iPhone, the device restarts. If the application was also open Messaging, it will become completely unusable and every time I try to open again crashear. If that was not weird enough, if you had an open conversation and get the text, nothing happens (the bug works elsewhere: lock screen, Notification Center, etc.).
All indications are that this is the way iOS handles Unicode text, specifically in the notifications. When they try to show this text at the top notification, the device automatically restarts.
How to fix this bug:
If you find the application completely unusable messages, there are a number of tricks to resolve this situation:
1.- Open the Photos application, send any image to the person who sent you the text. Then go to iMessage and delete the conversation.
2.- Use Siri to send a message to the person who sent you the text. After Siri send the text, enter and delete iMessage conversation.
To prevent someone then restart your phone by sending the text again, you can disable notifications in Settings> Notifications> Messages. Something radical solution, but until Apple will fix this problem.
