Apple Says It's Fixing a Big iPhone Bug

Apple is fixing a bug that was causing some users’ iPhones to crash.

The problem is being caused by an issue with third-party apps, 9to5mac reports. Apple told that site that the company is “aware of this issue, and we will release a fix in a software update soon.”

It’s not clear exactly when Apple’s fix will arrive. For now, those experiencing problems with their iPhone can try this workaround, though it’s a complicated procedure.
