I am hoping someone here can provide some insight into a problem I am having! My son sent the Telugu character to his iPhone-using friends as a joke (yeah I know, I know) and now one of the parents wants us to pay for her daughter's iPhone since they said the camera isn't working anymore. I think she had an iPhone 5s or maybe 5c. She admittedly said they are not tech-savvy, so they took it to the Sprint store. They were able to get it to reboot after having to install some iOS updates (apparently she hadn't done that in awhile). But, after they got the phone back on, they noticed the camera was not working. The people at the Sprint store told her the phone was broken and she needed to buy a new phone, so they did. I have searched and searched for this problem with the camera not working after the Telugu bug and can't find anything related to this issue. However, I have found a lot of examples of the camera not working after an update. So, my question is, could the Telugu bug have caused the camera not to work? Or is it possible that it was the iOS update? I asked her if I could test some of the known camera fixes on the phone, but she says they tossed it. Now we are stuck wondering if they are trying to get us to pay for a new phone when the old one could have been fixed. Thanks in advance for any knowledge someone can provide about this problem!
 



Apple today released iOS 11.2.6, the eleventh official update to the iOS 11 operating system. iOS 11.2.6 comes approximately one month after the launch of iOS 11.2.5, an update that introduced support for the HomePod, Control Center updates, Siri news, and a slew of bug fixes.

The iOS 11.2.6 update can be downloaded for free on all eligible devices over-the-air in the Settings app. To access the update, go to Settings --> General --> Software Update.

Apple released iOS 11.2.6 to address a bug that causes apps like Messages to crash on the iPhone and iPad due to an inability to render a specific character in the Indian language Telugu. When sent, received, or input into Messages, Safari, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and more, the Telugu character can cause the app to freeze up and become unresponsive.

In Messages, for example, receiving the character can freeze up the entire Messages app on all of a person's Mac and iOS devices. The Messages app then refuses to function properly until the offending character is removed by deleting the conversation with the person who sent it. Apple's release notes are below:Apple fixed the bug in iOS 11.3 and macOS 10.13.4, but those updates are still in beta testing and won't be released until the spring. Apple last week promised a minor update to fix the bug in the meantime.

So true. It seems to get worse. At least the new Microsoft guy is making a lot of good changes (let's not talk about the latest Word-Update-hit-and-run).

I guess they've just gotten too big and they can't uphold their style. If I were Cook I'd look at the management style of Microsoft these days.

I just wish Steve or Forstall were back. (sigh)

Look for iOS 11.3. It's supposed to fix the problem. Just remember, after installing iOS 11.3, you need to go the settings and change some parameters for the correction to take effect.
