These Four Characters Can Cause IPhone Crash In A Second Time

JAKARTA A security researcher discovered a new bug on the iPhone. When this bug is triggered by accident, or even intentionally, the device will experience a respring or re-tuning of the Springboard app. When the user types four keyboard characters consisting of two quotes and two no-spatially two-point signs, the Springboard will strike and suddenly experience a respring. After that, the iPhone interface will crash and the screen display is locked again. Keep in mind that the reset doesn't do a full reset. The iPhone only stops working for some time, after which the user can use the device again. In some cases, this bug will cause a black screen for a moment. This bug will be triggered if the user typed the four characters in the search bar in Settings. These four characters also trigger bugs if the user shifts the home screen to the right, then inserts the character into the search bar in the application's library. Although this bug looks worrying, iPhone researchers told TechCrunch that this bug doesn't come from security issues. Some of the researchers who confirmed it were Ryan Stortz and Patrick Wardle. Both are iOS researchers.

The problem of this respring or Springboard strike seems to only happen on the iPhone with iOS 17. Especially for iOS 18, this character will make some characters disappear or the Settings app doesn't work and doesn't want to be used. Apple hasn't responded to the discovery of these bugs yet. If iOS 18 also has problems with the use of these four characters, Apple may have to launch a fix. So far, there hasn't been any serious problem with these four characters bugs.
