This won't work for some users
So it's no problem for me to ask Siri to do things ... but this doesn't work for my friend.
He speaks English fluently... and his accent is quite good too, but Siri just won't understand anything... In fact, for some reason, none of the existing voice recognition technologies out there would recognize his voice commands... this includes his car... Weird!!!

What does that have to do with the basic reality of bugs existing in pretty much any software, especially something as complex as an OS?
Respring
So a friend sent it to me and now i'm stuck on a resprting loop. My screen appears and stay only for about 3 seconds.
Any thoughts about fixing it? Maybe changing to the 8.4 iOS?

Yes, I've found this to be a general solution for many problems!

Hmm. There seems to be many different strains of this. The one that went around my school only resprings the phone, messages app is perfectly functional afterword. Another thing I want to add is that I have previews turned off and this still resprings my phone.
MacRumors, I believe it've very unethical for you to publish the text of this malicious message.
Doesn't seem like MacRumors published the text--an image of the problem, sure, but that's not the actual text. Now, some users are posting the actual text, and that's certainly less than useful.
It's unethical to publish the content of the message so that people are able to duplicate it, in whatever form.
And people who think it's a prank should be reminded that the intentional destruction of property is vandalism.
Anyone who "pranks" me like this I'd remove from my official friends list and they could just go screw themselves.
Seeing it in an image isn't as helpful in helping someone duplicate it. It can be perhaps of very small help, but certainly quite little. Vast majority of reports of this (and there are tons) have an image or a screenshot of it anyway. Actual text that can be simply taken and used, now that's somewhat different, as I mentioned.

That usually solves the problem as well
They seem to gather here often.

Typical Android people reciting the same over and over again. "It just works." "You're holding it wrong."
Android people, typical Android people. Are you sure that it is not you projecting?
Because it's their fault that a bug - a software malfunction that is UNINTENTIONAL, the result of humans being imperfect, and UNDISCOVERED - has been found...
DOH. Engage brain before typing.
is it just me or am I the only one who's iPhone didn't crash? My friend sent it to me, but it did nothing. It just appeared like a normal message, I did have my Apple watch connected though if that makes a difference?
Then you are the lucky guy.
I have crashed my message app in iOS 8.4 beta 3. I don't want to try that string any more since all my devices are very important.
Why? Granted this is one of THE most annoying bugs because it results in a denial of service. Even if your data stays safe.
Why would I send it to those people? Because it is very very annoying and because how many people use it in jest.
Not sure what would be a typical response time for a tech company but I think 1 week a temporary patch should have been released. Anyone think that is unreasonable?
