Time has come for those who boast that IPhone is the most reliable and fastest mobile in the world to recheck the fact as a new text message, which is reportedly proven malicious can crash the device. A bug, probably the first of its kind has been discovered in Apple’s IOS, which is in text format, is causing the device to reboot, when received from others. The text is a mixture of English and Arabic words.

9to5Mac reported that they discovered the iPhones not only crashing, but also rebooting when they receive the particular text message. However, they stated that the message is effective, only if it is sent by
Apple handsets running iOS. Apple is still searching for the hacker who made the message first.

Reacting on this, Apple told Mail online that it is looking into the issue and will probably fix the issue in the next update.

The enraged iPhone users took the twitter with thousands of messages to share the text, as well as bemoan being sent it by tiresome friends.

Below is the flurry of the tweets:

However, there are some relatively easy ways to fix handsets.

Victims of the bug can ask the same person, via another form of communication, who sent them the malicious message to send it again - effectively cancelling out the bug.

This works well if it's a friend messing around.
