Bug is a massive pain in the iMessage
Apple's iMessage platform has been subject of a new bug that shuts down your entire iPhone after receiving the message "effective. Power لُلُصّبُلُلصّبُررً ॣ ॣh ॣ ॣ 冗".
The second half is Arabic and if you're not currently in the iMessage with a person it'll send your phone into a reboot no matter what it's doing – it's proved very frustrating for some users and it's not certain what the long term effects are.Here's the fix: head into your Settings app, then the Notifications tab, Messages and then switch off the slider called "show on local screen and under "alert style when unlocked" choose "none".
It's a pretty simple fix but it means if you're sent any more pesky iMessages you're not going to be sent into the reboot again.
