Shut down anyone's iphone with a text?

Just read an article that claims there is a glitch with iphones and the new watches which allows users to imessage someone a specific set of characters that will shut down their phone. I don;t feel like messing around with it, but i figured somebody here might get a kick out of it and try it out if it's still even possible.

Quote:
"An issue with Apple's latest iOS software allows users to send a specific string of characters via text to shut down an iPhone remotely. The message also affects the Apple Watch, if associated with the same device to which the code was sent.
The message was revealed on Reddit late Tuesday by user cbhunt14."

I doubt there has been enough time for word to spread if they had a fix.

It only works if they have banner notifications on. With the way it terminates text, if theres none standard text right where the ellipses is some funky shit happens and the phone crashes. It also locks them out of sending texts when it boots back up.

Does it have to show up just like that? The effective and power are on separate lines, but the last part showed up all on one line. I have one shot to send this to an old asshole friend.

I think it has to be sent exactly like that. I havent been able to test it out since im an android user and apparently it only works from iphone to iphone.

and what if someone has a heart attack or ruptures a vagina right when you disabled their phone, then they can't get the medical help they need, and then you end up going to jail for life over a stupid pretend hackzor text message
ain't worth it

Did your friend have to actually open the message for it to work? I know that you don't have to actually open the message to be able to read it. just sent it to someone, but I think they may just leave it alone and ignore it without opening.

It doesnt work by opening it, if they have banner notifications on recieving it is what crashes it, and yes it works from anroid to iphone. Iphone is the only make it works on however.

Oh, the banner notification is when you see it from just waking your phone up. So there's no way to avoid it. Nice

I just sent it to one of my buddies and he said it only works if you send it through Imessage. So how is this even possible?
