A newly discovered bug in Apple's iOS mobile operating system is being exploited in a prank that lets anyone crash your iPhone or iPad by just sending an emoji-filled iMessage, according to several reports.
Here's the first troublesome text: A white Flag emoji, the digit "0" and a Rainbow emoji.
This simple numeric character, flag, and rainbow emoji’s confuse iOS 10 devices when it tries to combine them into a rainbow flag.
As soon as this text is received, the iPhone's software attempts to combine the emoji’s but fails, and the messaging app crashes and eventually reboots in a few minutes. The recipients do not even have to open or read the message.
