Your iPhone has a new bug, which could slip into a bootloop with no end in sight


Your iPhone has another new bug, and this time it could trap your device in a bootloop – a continual cycle of restarting but not actually launching into iOS.

The bug, which Apple is urgently trying to fix, came as part of its latest software update and crashes applications that display a certain character from the south Indian language Telugu. Receiving or typing a message with that character in causes apps to stop.

If the symbol is displayed via a notification, iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, Apple TVs and even some desktops can slip into a bootloop with no end in sight.

There is a solution in the works though. After the glitch was first reported by Indian site Mobile World, Apple has said the problem has been fixed in beta builds of its various OSes. A permanent fix will be rolled out as soon as possible.
