The Messages app in iOS 18 has a critical bug that crashes when replying to a shared Apple Watch face in iMessage, affecting both sender and receiver.
After receiving a shared watch face message, replying to it triggers repeated crashes of the Messages app, preventing access to other chats and potentially deleting important conversations.
Users encountering this issue may try to delete the conversation, but due to constant crashes, this may not work and could result in lost media attachments.
The bug needs to be addressed promptly by Apple, with hopes pinned on the first update to iOS 18, likely to be released soon.
