Emojis are today's form of emoticons which can be used to express emotions through messages. The iPhone prankster took advantage of the prank which has started from the previous iOS bugs. This involves a hidden character and three emojis -- the waving white flag emoji, the variation selection which is the invisible character, a zero, and a rainbow. (via The Inquirer) The trick happens by the phone's effort of combining the white flag and zero into one emoji.

It can also be one by using the same characters, however, these characters will be embedded into a contact's file. The said file can be received through the iCLoud Drive going to the iMessage contact. Upon receiving the bugs, the device will immediately crash, however its effect's degree will depend on the user's device. According to The Guardian, some users who experience only a partial bricking need to only do a quick reboot. Meanwhile, those who have experienced a severe lockup needs to reboot their iOS device.
