The undisputed king of the Instant messaging service WhatsApp messenger is one of daily needs of our on-data life. We are more active in WhatsApp than any other social media hubs. Recently A WhatsApp massage spreading and tapping on it causes WhatsApp Hang/Jam for some moments.
This is followed by a black dot (and some emojis), which when tapped, does indeed hang the app momentarily. The massage is widely forwarded by the users and it's disturbing and abhorrent.
But What Is The Truth Behind It. Let's Find Out..........
Why it's Happening ??
The presence of an unknown, invisible special character
The message includes symbols that WhatsApp doesn't recognize, and are thus invisible to users.
Is It Malicious ??
WhatsApp users who faced the situation earlier are advised to do not panic. This message is Neither Malicious or Any other Harmful Object.
Your Whatsapp Hang Because you followed the commands which are written in the massage for curiousity. Nothing more.
The bug seems Harmless And neither malicious. And likely the massage composed for Fun and for peeve peoples.
