A newly discovered bug affects Apple iPhones and iPads, causing them to crash upon entering the characters '::' in the App library or Settings search.
Typing the characters '::' triggers a bug in iOS 17 and beta iOS 18 related to how the software interprets certain punctuation, resulting in device crashes.
Experts confirm this issue is not a security risk, asserting that it's highly unlikely a third party could exploit this bug to compromise devices.
Apple is expected to release iOS 17.6.2, a minor update in September that may include bug fixes and security enhancements to address this issue.
