    • +The Life You Live I’ll skip the ‘You don’t say’ part as I’m talking about
      ‘that language’ (the comment before mine)

    • +Rpgwaiter When the text message is displayed by a banner alert or
      notification on the lock screen, the system attempts to abbreviate the text
      with an ellipsis. If the ellipsis is placed in the middle of a set of
      non-Latin script characters, including Arabic, Marathi and Chinese, it
      causes the system to crash and the phone to reboot. It has nothing to do
      with of how high the Unicode values are. It also has Chinese it it too

  1. I tried sending this to myself and it didn’t work. I sent it to a friend

    • I figured it out, I had the wrong copy of the text message. I got the right
      copy and sent it to myself, and viola, it worked. 🙂

    • +19witness89 as one line of text it doesn’t work, if you have a special
      number of spaces in between the Arabic and symbols it works

    3. those who don’t have an Iphone or friends

  3. I wrote this message on a piece of paper and placed it in my messenger
    hawk’s cannister. It crashed somewhere in the swiss alps.

  4. I can’t believe this still works on iOS 9, because I sent this to my friend
    (With iOS 9.1) and it actually worked!
