Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) text messaging service has bug which has upset messaging services of most other services. The bug is known to crash the iPhone when users text on it. Snapchat was permanently breaking, while Twitter too was in much turmoil.
As of the current status, the Apple text bug was fond to choke on particular characters, such as Arabic, Marathi as well as Chinese. It not only crashes any of the apple devices, such as Apple Watch, iPad or iPhone as well as the Mac, but ruins any of the apps that run on the iOS platform.
The bugging carry text can be used in direct messages as well as public mentions. When the user uses the iPhone and has ‘notifications turned on,’ then the message crashes the smartphone instantly.

Messages App has issued instructions which will help in recovering the app. Siri will hence forth reply to messages and allow users later, to delete the conversation. The procedure can be adopted for Photos apps. A picture can be sent to the contact and access can be gained to the message history. The message can then be deleted.
