If a short time ago we explained to you that a simple link in a message could restart your iPhone, today another bug appears.
This time it is a special character that unexpectedly closes apps like Messaging, WhatsApp or Messenger .
A new bug appears in iOS
Yes, unfortunately a new bug has appeared in iOS.
It has been discovered by the Italian blog Mobileworld where it shows an error in a video.
What's wrong?
It turns out that when sending a symbol of the Telegu language, originally from India, through one of the aforementioned apps: WhatsApp, Mesengeror Messages, exit unexpectedly. Plus, it can even reset your iPhone.
The symbol in question is:
Symbol in question
It can even affect mail applications like Gmail or Outlook. But it seems, that the messaging applications of Telegram and Skype are immune.
How can we fix it?
It seems that the way to fix it is to delete this message that has been sent to us.
But of course, if it's the last message we've received, every time we open the app it will slam shut. You can even reboot your device.
So for this there are three possible solutions:
- Have the person who sent the message delete the last one sent.
- Or, have the person who sent the message send you many more so that the symbol does not appear on the screen.
- And if not, someone sends you a new message so you can access the application and delete the conversation that caused the bug in iOS.
Apple is on it
The error is quite annoying and can ruin your experience with these apps.
But anyway, being a symbol of a language from India, it's pretty rare that it can affect you. Unless it's intentional, someone wants to play a practical joke on you.
However, Apple assured The Verge that it will fix this bug in iOS even before releasing version 11.3.
It seems that with the new twist Apple wants to take care of security and user experience. A joy.
