If you have recently received a text message with a link from an unknown person, be extremely careful before opening it. It may just cause your iPhone and Mac computer to crash.

The website link exploits a bug in iOS and Mac devices, which causes the system to crash or stall when received through Apple's messages app on iOS or macOS, Apple Insider said.

"The website seems to exploit a bug or a non-optimized rendering process for OpenGraph page titles by creating an excessively long tag. When Messages attempts to render a preview of the link, the app then crashes or hangs - and occasionally takes the operating system with it," the report said.

The only solution, at the moment, is to delete the conversation in which they received the link.
