Now Crash iPHONE By Sending Emoji Text Message

A newly discovered bug in Apple's iOS mobile operating system is being exploited in a prank that lets anyone crash your iPhone or iPad by just sending an emoji-filled iMessage, according to several reports.

YouTube star EverythingApplePro published a video highlighting a sequence of characters that temporarily freeze and restart an iPhone, which people can send to their iPhone buddies to trouble them. You can watch the video demonstration below.

Here's the first troublesome text: A white Flag emoji, the digit "0" and a Rainbow emoji.

This simple numeric character, flag, and rainbow emojis confuse iOS 10 devices when it tries to combine them into a rainbow flag.

As soon as this text is received, the iPhone's software attempts to combine the emojis but fails, and the messaging app crashes and eventually reboots in a few minutes. The recipients do not even have to open or read the message.

Video Demonstration

Another iPhone-crashing method involves the same characters, but saving them as a contact file and then sending that file to an iMessage contact via iCloud's sharing feature.

This, in turn, will crash the target's device, even if the victim has not manually opened the file.

Both the methods mentioned above will crash and iPhone or iPad to varying degrees, although the simple text string sent via a standard iMessage appears to affect iPhones and iPads running iOS 10.1 or below.

However, the boobytrapped contact card affects all versions of iOS 10, including Apple's latest iOS 10.2 operating system.

There is nothing you can do to protect yourself against this issue, as these iPhone-crashing issues have the ability to crash and reboot your iPhone or iPad without your interaction.

So, we hope that Apple releases a patch quickly to plug the issues, though the company has declined to comment on the issue.

This is not the first time EverythingApplePro has shared iOS-crashing issues. The YouTuber has a long history of reporting on iPhone crash pranks.

Uber knows where you go, even after ride is over

Enlarge / Uber's iOS popup asking for new surveillance permissions.

As promised, Uber is now tracking you even when your ride is over. The ride-hailing service said the surveillance—even when riders close the app—will improve its service.

The company now tracks customers from when they request a ride until five minutes after the ride has ended. According to Uber, the move will help drivers locate riders without having to call them, and it will also allow Uber to analyze whether people are being dropped off and picked up properly—like on the correct side of the street.

"We do this to improve pickups, drop-offs, customer service, and to enhance safety," Uber said. In a statement, the company said:

We're always thinking about ways we can improve the rider experience from sharpening our ETA estimates to identifying the best pick up location on any given street. Location is at the heart of the Uber experience, and we're asking riders to provide us with more information to achieve these goals.

Uber announced that it would make the change last year to allow surveillance in the app's background, prompting a Federal Trade Commission complaint. (PDF) The Electronic Privacy Information Center said at the time that "this collection of user's information far exceeds what customers expect from the transportation service. Users would not expect the company to collect location information when customers are not actively using the app." The complaint went nowhere.

However, users must consent to the new surveillance. A popup—like the one shown at the top of this story—asks users to approve the tracking. Uber says on its site that riders "can disable location services through your device settings" and manually enter a pickup address.

Uber and the New York Attorney General's office in January entered into an agreement to help protect users' location data. The deal requires Uber to encrypt location data and to protect it with multi-factor authentication.

The first iPhone hacker, George Hotz, has open sourced Code And Hardware Of His Self-driving Car

If you keep a close eye on the security world and the latest developments happening around us, you might be knowing about George Hotz. He is regarded as the first iPhone hacker, better known as Geohot. His desire to make calls from his own network on the newly released iPhone, probably, inspired him to jailbreak it.

In December 2015, we told you about his new hobby that involved taking on Google, Tesla, and automotive companies that are working on autonomous vehicles. Back then, he took a 2015 Acura ILX and converted it into a self-driving car.

Apparently, last month his comma.ai startup came to an end when he revealed that he got threats of massive lumps of fines from the US Department of Transport.

Now, instead of trying to fight the regulators, he has decided to give it away. comma.ai has open sourced its software and hardware on GitHub. The open source hardware platform is called Comma Neo.

At the moment, the open source software of comma.ai enables adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. This software applies to certain Acura and Honda models. comma.ai claims that its systems are “on par with Tesla Autopilot at launch.”

Hotz also plans to actively work and encourage the people to build their own self-driving kits. He also calls it an alpha software that’s for research purposes.

You can take a look at comm.ai’s open source project on GitHub.

News=Now Verizon's LG G5 is receiving the update to Android 7.0 Nougat

The update to Android 7.0 Nougat for the LG G5keeps on spreading, with every day that goes by. It's been launched in South Korea first, and recently we've seen it hitting G5 units sold by Sprint, T-Mobile, as well as US Cellular. And now it's finally time for this new software to make it to Verizon's LG G5.

The rollout has seemingly commenced today, according to multiple people who have received the update. It's a 1.6GB download, so make sure you get it via Wi-Fi. As you can see from the screenshot to the left, the mini changelog LG has outed for this build contains information about such features as new themes, a replacement of LG's Downloads app by Google's, and the newfound ability to restore deleted images from the Trash folder for seven days.

Of course these aren't all the new things you'll see once you update. The release also packs the features that Google built into Android 7.0 and which have survived LG's modifications intact. Hopefully at least the new notification design (complete with direct reply functionality) has been kept by the Korean company unaltered. As usual with such rollouts, it may take a few days before you get an update notification, so don't despair if you don't see it yet.
