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 gonna 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 short 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 let's just confirm that what's happening is what we've seen reported so here we go I'm gonna 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 gonna open I'm gonna 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 gonna 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 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 gonna text this to Jack though no I'm just kidding don't do it it was a joke that was a joke
