This evening, reports broke of a strange combination of English, Arabic and (likely) unicode characters that cause iOS devices to appear as though theyre rebooting when a message is received through the stock Messages app that contains said characters.

For those of you interested in testing this bizarre glitch, copy the below message directly on your iOS device (if youre on our desktop site, visit this post on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch) and send it in a text to a friend or another device you own.

The only requirement is that the recipient mustnt be in the conversation when the message is delivered. Were told Apple is already aware of the issue and that their engineers are working on a remedy, which will likely be found in the forthcoming iOS 8.4 release.

I tried this to my own phone,

Basically it just reboots itself as if you would turning your phone off and on (just a little faster),

You can do it as many times as you once, but each text/time you send the code does it once.

You also posted this last night to get views and likes on your YouTube channel, I just made a nice text tutorial and more TTG friendly, no harm in that now is there. I also provided a bit of information on the bug itself.

it works, but it's kind of annoying because everybody is spamming each other phones with this
