network security researcher Konstantin discovered a bug in Apple’s iOS: after entering the four characters “::” in the App Library search bar or Spotlight search, the iPhone will crash immediately.
It is reported that this error will reproduce on operating systems such as iOS 17, iOS 18 and iOS 18.1, and iPad devices are no exception.
It is worth noting that this error is not a security vulnerability because users usually do not enter all four characters at the same time.
In fact, this is not the first time that Apple has encountered this problem. In April 2020, netizens revealed that a mysterious character consisting of the Italian flag Emoji and a string of Sindhi caused the iOS system to crash.
At that time, it was not just the iPhone that was affected. All Apple products including Mac and Apple Watch were not spared. As long as this string of characters was received, Apple devices would trigger this bug and cause the system to crash directly.
After the news was exposed, this string of mysterious characters began to spread virally on social platforms. What’s even more exaggerated is that the entire social software was full of these characters at the time. As long as your iPhone was turned on, the system would crash on the spot.
Although Apple has not responded, the company usually fixes the bug in the next version.Although Apple has not responded, the company usually fixes the bug in the next version.
