It is unlikely that many owners of Apple Watch, Apple TV or Mac have encountered the bug. It occurs when a message arrives at the device with a special symbol of the Telugu language (typical for India).

The bug works not only in Messages, but also in third-party messengers, and because of it, applications crash and stop working properly. In some cases, the entire system stopped working and the device had to be reset.

When the bug was first discovered, Apple reported that it had already been fixed in beta versions iOS 11.3. However, the public release will not take place so soon, in connection with which the company had to release iOS 11.2.6 with a bug patch. Then updates were released for other systems, and in all the problem was resolved. By installing updates, you will protect yourself from the 'Telugu' bug.

Apple might not release such minor updates, but the company wants to make sure that users won't have any problems using instant messengers. Messaging apps, WhatsApp, WeChat, and Facebook Messenger are some of the most popular apps, so a large number of users could be affected by the bug.
