Lately, Apple discovered a bug which caused various iOS devices to crash, when a specific sting of text was sent in text or iMessage. The Cupertino tech giant has recently published a statement, in which it acknowledges the issue and says a software update is coming soon for the fix of this issue. Meanwhile Apple has offered a temporary solution for the text issue.
"Apple is aware of an iMessage issue caused by a specific series of unicode characters and we will make a fix available in a software update. Until the update is available, you can use these steps to re-open the Messages app."
1. Ask Siri to "read unread messages." 

2. Use Siri to reply to the malicious message. After you reply, you'll be able to open Messages again 

3. In Messages, swipe left to delete the entire thread. Or tap and hold the malicious message, tap More, and delete the message from the thread.

 While there are also many other ways to fix this issue. According to a report published by Mac Rumors, "if Messages was opened in conversation list view you can fix the issue by having someone send you a message or sending yourself a message via Siri or through the Share sheet in any app."
