A new bug has been discovered in Apple’s iOS software that causes iPhones and iPads to crash when users type a specific sequence of characters. The bug affects the Spotlight Search and App Library search bar on the home screen, causing devices to freeze, crash, or even reboot.
The good news is that this bug can’t be used to hack or harm devices remotely, and it only happens if someone manually types the sequence on their own device. However, it’s still an annoyance that users should be aware of, especially if they frequently use the search features on their iPhones or iPads.
To avoid the bug, users can simply avoid typing the specific sequence and keep an eye out for any software updates from Apple. Installing updates regularly can help protect devices from bugs and security vulnerabilities. Apple is likely to release a fix in a future iOS update, so users should stay tuned for any upcoming software releases.
