On its support page, the tech giant explained: 'Apple is 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 message contains the word ‘Power’ as well as Arabic and Marathi characters and the Chinese character meaning 'redundant'.Īpple fan site MacRumours said it has tested the message and revealed it will crash any iPhone running the latest iOS 8.3 operating system. Unsurprisingly, the text message content was shared on social media, with people complaining of being repeatedly sent the message by mischievous friends.
If an iPhone user receives the text, containing a mixture of specific words and characters, while their handset is locked, the bug also forces their phone to reboot. A bug discovered in Apple's iOS last week caused Messages to crash automatically when a certain text was received.
