Apple has been known for its security feature. Its IOS quality has been proven and tested. However the IOS quality of Apple is being called to question of which Apple users have been worried about.
This is about a new five-second video which can cause Iphone to lock up and freeze. The crashing of the Iphone will happen 10 seconds after the video will be played.
"What, exactly, happens in the video? Not much. A man briefly appears to perform a magic trick with a deck of cards before the word "Honey" appears. The video then apparently tries to replay itself...," Chron added.
"It appears that the video's corrupt, generating a loop that causes the iPhone to crash around 10 seconds after watching it. We're not linking to the video for obvious reasons, but it appears to only crash devices when it's sent as a link rather than simply transferred as a file," The Verge explained.
Furthermore The Verge, found that iPhones running iOS 10.1 and beta versions of 10.2 are vulnerable. However, report has revealed that versions of the operating system dating back to IOS 5 are experiencing the same issues after the video is launched.
Ipads are also vulnerable. It has been said that what has been affected by the video is the operating system that is why Ipads may also be affected.
But this isn't a problem without any solution. A hard reset will just be needed for it to go back in its normal phase.
For iPhone7 and iPhone7 Plus, users may just do a long press on the power and volume down button together. In case of iPhone6s and older versions, users will have to long press the home and power button at the same time.
So be careful and don't just click any video.
