Another iOS application bug has caused some Apple iPhones to crash and make text messaging useless. An attachment sent with a text message, if opened is the culprit. This affects Apple iphone operating system version 10.2.1 beta and earlier.
Your text messaging application will continually crash if you try to use it. Also, shutting down and starting up your device will not fix this issue. Finally, powering it off and on will not rectify this problem.
In order to possibly rectify this issue, you want to make sure you have Internet access. Wifi or your smart device's mobile data Internet connection will suffice. Also, you will want to make certain your device has enough battery power in order to complete these steps below.
You will want to open Apple Safari web browser on your affected device. Then you need to type in this uniform resource locator web page link, vincedes3.com/save.html. This will help remove that message application bug.
You will want to tap a Go button. At an Open this page in Messages pop up window, you will want to click on Open. You will be taken to a messaging application where a I have just saved your iPhone bro! message appears.
Your text messaging application should now be fixed. This allows you to possibly rectify this problem without waiting for Apple to release a software update. These instructions were written for Apple iPhone operating system version 10.2.1 and earlier.
