Reports: A simple message that causes the iPhone to stop



In the past few days, there have been reports of a loophole that is exploited by anyone by sending an SMS with a link. Once the user clicks on the link, his iPhone stops and requires a restart.


The new message targeting iOS as macOS is a special link exploiting a gap in these two systems. When the user opened the message via the iMessage application, many people were surprised that this application was not working, but some users said things could get worse so that the iPhone itself stops Work or cycle starts frequently.

The problem called "chaiOS bug" is not the first of its kind. There was a similar problem with the iPhone in 2015 about a letter made up of a sequence of letters and numbers whose opening also causes a similar problem.

👋 Effective Power is back, baby!

chaiOS bug:
Text the link below, it will freeze the recipient's device, and possibly restart it
