WhatsApp is one of the most successful messaging platforms with over 1.5 billion monthly active users. The instant messaging service is often riddled with scams. A new one now is spreading on the messaging platform.
A new forward message is doing rounds on WhatsApp that is causing the app to freeze up and stop working when the recipient taps on the message box. The latest spam message starts from "black dot" and ends at don't touch here." The forward message reads, "I can hang your WhatsApp for a while just touch below message" and the message below reads, "don't touch here."
As per the report, the message bears some unknown special characters which crash the application. The bug is reportedly affecting only Android smartphones and iOS users seem to be unaffected by the forward. The source of this message is not known yet. While there is nothing malicious behind this bug but has seemingly been created to plague you.
Additionally, this is not the first time that such a spam message has been floating in the platform. Earlier in February, a bug was causing iPhones to crash when a single character in Telugu, an Indian language, was sent to the device or typed in a text editor.
