This Is How You Can Crash Your Friend’s Whatapp Just By Sending Smileys by Nobody: 6:03am On Jan 29, 2016
Whatsapp your friend with a message containing
nearly 4000 smileys and the friend will suffer with
a crash everytime s/he opens the message.
Yes, you can crash your friends’ WhatsApp , both
WhatsApp Web and mobile application, by sending
them not any specially crafted messages, but just
smileys. Indrajeet Bhuyan, an independent
researcher, has reported The Hacker News a new
bug in WhatsApp that could allow anyone to
remotely crash most popular messaging app just by
sending nearly 4000 emojis to the target user,
thereby affecting up to 1 Billion users.
Bhuyan is the same researcher who reported a
very popular WhatsApp crash bug last year that
required 2000 words (2kb in size) message in the
special character set to remotely crash Whatsapp
messenger app.
After this discovery, the company patched the bug
by setting up the limits of characters in WhatsApp
text messages, but unfortunately, it failed to set up
limits for smileys send via WhatsApp.

You don't necessarily need to type up to 4k, na classic denial of Service ish. Even the person wey dey type am go dey get issues, phones with little RAM will probably be more vulnerable
