How to use SMS to solve the problem of iphone direct crash?

Users of Apple products have found a series of malicious character messages, which can "lock" the user's SMS service when received by SMS on iPhone, thus causing the collapse of mobile phone service. If users receive this string of characters when using an SMS application, their SMS application will crash, and they must quit the application and reopen it to return to the previous chat interface. On the other hand, if the user receives this string of characters when the screen is locked, the user will not be able to open the SMS application at all.

People have begun to use this string of characters maliciously, so that those who receive this string of characters will never receive any news again. However, if the sender of malicious characters sends another message immediately, the SMS application of the receiver can be "unlocked". But according to Twitter users, those who make malicious jokes are reluctant to send messages to "unlock" other people's applications. What's more, whether this string of character texts is sent through Apple's SMS service or other SMS services, the effect is the same. This means that users of Android or Microsoft phones can control the SMS service of Apple phones through a simple article.

In some cases, users can also solve this problem by themselves. If the user has an Apple computer, after receiving the iMessage message from another Apple device, open this malicious message in the message application, and then reply to the sender with any content to remove the application restriction. If users only use iPhone, there are two solutions. One is to send messages to people who send malicious messages through the sharing function. Another way is to open Siri and order Siri to send messages to people who send malicious text messages.

After the test, it is found that the iPhone 5s will not completely crash when it opens the SMS from the lock screen, and it can also reply to the sender, thus releasing the control of malicious characters on the SMS application. But this malicious incident will still have a serious impact on users who don't have Apple computers.
