Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The Worst Text You Could Ever Receive…”.
Oh, my goodness, this is bad. This is really bad. It’S a crisis. It seriously is worse than I originally thought, this very special character, a text character that is crashing iMessage, it’s rendering iMessage useless, but I told will to look into it like see what this thing is all about, and it turns out it’s way worse than that on His MacBook, this character is also wreaking havoc. Oh yeah, the Notes app has already been crushed on the laptop.
His notes are gone because there was one note with this character in it. That’S all it takes. Is that one character? That’S the reason we brought well on because, like I mean he’s been looking into this all morning, we want to test it. A few different ways see how bad it is.
He’S got an Android phone here, there’s an Android phone over here and then, of course, we have the iPhone 10. I’M gon na paste the character into a text, chat Android to Android to make sure that it’s iOS and OS 10 specific. So here we go, my reception is really bad. Yours, oh there we go, you see on Android, nothing happened.
It’S it’s perfectly fine! Well, where things are about to get dicey, that simple little character, there is probably about to destroy the messaging app on the iPhone 10. This is crazy and who knows what other apps after we discovered, show Jack sure, okay, the character is there if he touches that character, highlights it dead, show them what happens when you try to open notes, I mean notes, won’t even open anymore, iPhone 10 on the Left your phone is on the right. I put my sim card in it. This could be a disaster.
I should warn people don’t do this all right. This is a disastrous, is terrible. You could break someone’s phone yeah. I’Ve heard, let’s just confirm that what’s happening, is what we’ve seen reported.
So here we go, I’m gon na paste it in there there. It is sim cards in here. Now, let’s go ahead and send this over. You were telling me earlier this character, some sort of foreign language yeah, it’s a character, I think in India, Kaluga it’s a foreign language character.
So, what’s happening right now, if you’re in that country, if you’re you, if you that’s your keyboard, everyone’s brick yeah so once again little slow on the on the send here. Why do I feel like as soon as I write test? It goes right away? I think it just takes a while. Oh do we get it? Oh boy, this is dangerous, whoa, it rebooted. But if I go in here, okay, I’m gon na open, I’m gon na open it ready. But what I don’t understand is it’s not killing my messages. So the issue is because I wrote the test: it’s okay, if the person that sent you the terrible message to begin with, is willing to help you out, they can send you a rescue message so that when you launch your messages app, it doesn’t have to render That character in the subject so before I do it look you’ll see boom crash. I can’t open messages now rescue and then boom. I can get into my messages now. If I do open up the message from well, I’m still gon na be messed dead, but if I paste this on its own – and if this comes through we’re dead new message, so it’s they’re now dead, instant messages are completely dead. The messages app is crushed. It’S over.
The extent of this is more major than I had assumed. This is some serious stuff right now Apple. We hope you can get some engineers working overtime here. This is a that’s a problem. Remember your uncle Lou told you don’t go.
Do this makes you realize how much we rely on technology yeah, these little bugs can freak you right out, just one simple character: just break everything really dude. Thanks for your hard work on this and sacrificing your machine, yeah I’ll just be over here using my pixel 2xl Android devices and I’m gon na text this to Jack, though no I’m just kidding, don’t do it. It was a joke that was a joke. .
