A message with a 'Black Dot' appears to cause your iPhone's messages app to crash, but here's how you can fix it:
According to reports, the dot is a unicode text bug with thousands of hidden characters. When your phone tries to read the text and analyze the coding, the result is that it WILL crash.
Where did this all start?
Good question:
YouTube prankster "EverythingApplePro" started all of this!
UGH
HOPE YOU FIX YOUR BLACK DOT PROBLEM!
