This is quite amazing yet so unfortunate, that some text message could just enter your iPhone and the next thing your device just shut down.

This messages includes Arabic and other non-Roman characters and this causes the recipient's phone to restart and make it impossible for them to open their Message app.

Apple is aware of the problem. A company spokeswoman said in a statement that, "We are aware of an iMessage issue caused by a specific series of unicode characters and we will make a fix available in a software update.”

While it's alarming to think that someone can attack your device this way, sending the message isn't exactly destructive. Your phone doesn't become inoperable, it just reboots. You can even open your messages again, as long as your prankster sends you another message -- your enemies, of course, may not be so obliging. In that case, you can also send yourself a text message, via Siri.

But it is somewhat baffling: how can a string of text automatically shut down your device?

The working theory, via a reddit thread on the subject, is that the phone struggles with displaying the non-Western characters in banner notifications, aka the alerts you get that pop down from the top of the iPhone screen. Eventually, that causes the phone to reboot. This kind of problem has actually shown up before, in iOS 6, according to numerous reddit posters.

Others on reddit have reported achieving similar results by sending the same message through other services such as WhatsApp and Pushbullet, that have banner notifications enabled.
