It looks like trolls are exploiting the latest iPhone bug to make life very difficult for Twitter users. 。
Earlier in the week, yet another iPhone-crashing iOS bug surfaced. For some reason, a single character from the Indian Telugu language will cause whatever app it's viewed in to crash repeatedly. 。
SEE ALSO:It's not just you: Apple's software is buggier than it used to be — here's how they fix it 。Apple has said it's aware of the issue and plans to fix it in an upcoming update, but the issue has proved to be particularly problematic on Twitter. As word of yet another crash-inducing bug has begun to spread, it appears that some Twitter users are using it to their advantage. 。
Since the bug surfaced late last week, some have been inserting the offending character into their Twitter names and encouraging others to spread it in tweets. 。

It's much easier for the bug to spread on Twitter than within iMessages and other apps, because your phone will be affected if anyone in your feed uses the character, whether or not you intentionally view the tweet. 。
Needless to say, it's been wreaking havoc on a number of users' phones, leaving them unable to use the Twitter app without frequent crashes. 。
Again, Apple says it has a fix on the way, though it's not clear when it will be available — it's been patched in the latest iOS betas so hopefully it will be soon. Until then, Twitter users have discovered a couple workarounds. If you can access your Twitter account outside of the app, such as within Safari, you can log in and block any users tweeting the character.。
