Apple has fixed a bug which was as the old software bug that has been able to crash the user’s iPhone when they receive a text message with a specific string of the characters. The bug, which involves having users send a string of symbols and Arabic characters to a victim’s iPhone, was first surfaced by the online community but news of its existence has now spread around the web.As per the rumors, sending this text string to a user’s iPhone causes the device to crash and then quickly reboot. Afterwards, if the Messages app was opened in list view, it will continue to crash when you try to open it going forward. If it was opened to the conversation view, however, the app will open. But when you try to enter in another conversation, the Messages app will crash again.
And this problem is going on with the IOS 8.3. Not everyone seems to be affected by the bug, which implies that it could be associated only with certain IOS versions and/or a combination of settings which cause the crash to occur. Apple did not explain what was causing the bug but trying to get the proper results for the bug. This is not the first time IOS has been compromised by a bug that’s capable of crashing iPhones by way of a text string. In 2013, others had discovered a text string that could crash Safari, and this also caused the messaging app to crash.According to an Apple spokesperson, “we are aware of an iMessage issue caused by a specific series of Unicode characters and we will make a fix available in a software update.” The company did not elaborate on when that fix would arrive.
