iMessage: Malformed Message Bricks iPhone

This is fixed in iOS 12.3 [1] and macOS 10.14.5 [2], both released on May 13th. As Natalie noted on the ticket, turning off iMessage will also prevent the bug.

I cannot load this page on android Firefox without it immediately crashing Firefox. Fairly topical.

Safari on iOS threw a WebKit exception on my first try, but a reload worked…

Wow, you could actually lose the data with this bug. Glad it was fixed in 12.3. I remember the last time something like this happened (4-5 years ago?) it would only crash the phone.

Works in my FF 67.

Same, it works for me on 67.0.3.
