After telling you about the latest WhatsApp updates, today we must explain a new bug.
Previously something similar happened on Android and we thought that in iOS we would get rid of it, but no.
Something similar happened recently on Android
A few days ago a new error appeared on WhatsApp on Android.
It consisted of receiving a message that urged you to press a black circle. If you did, the application would freeze and they would have to restart their device.
It did not do any damage to the device or the application. It was just annoying.
Luckily, we iOS users had gotten rid of this message. And they sent it to you, it did absolutely nothing.
Although it was harmless, it was still a practical joke.
A new message on WhatsApp can brick your iPhone
This is not the first time we have received news about a message that ruins our user experience with WhatsApp.
Now it happens again and a new message on WhatsApp can block your iPhone. And give you a hard time.
The message is similar to what Android users received.
Although it has changed, now the text of this one is “This is very interesting” with an emoji at the end of the text.
WhatsApp message skins that can lock your iPhone
As with the Android version, when you click on one of the words or the emoji, the App will freeze.
Having to force close WhatsApp or even having to restart the iPhone completely.
What actually happens is that a series of hidden symbols appear, which is what really blocks our iPhone.
At the moment we don't know for sure what effect this will have on iOS. But our advice is that if you receive this message, do not click on the words or the emoji, because of what might happen.
In fact, if I got it, I would delete the message directly.
