8 Characters Making Skype Crash on iOS, Android & Windows

We shared with yous last calendar week how an obscure text string was causing iOS Letters app to crash. Seems like the bug is going to bless other apps and services besides. Reportedly, same bug has now been discovered in the Skype app on iOS, Android, and Windows devices.

The text string that is making Skype crash is seemingly non that obscure: http://:. Aye the first part of a URL is making the Skype app crash on all the three major platforms. On the devices, when Skype re-opens, conversation history is loaded carrying the cord and the app crashes immediately.

Folks atVentureBeattested the issues by sending Skype crash cord from OS X to Android and iOS causing both the mobile apps fall in endless crash loops.

"Interestingly, signing in with the same business relationship that already had the characters in the chat history doesn't crash the Android and iOS apps. Neither does sending the characters from Android or iOS. Information technology seems that on the mobile platforms, the user has to receive the characters on those platforms for the problems to bear witness its ugly head. "

Fixing the Skype crash loop:

Microsoft is reportedly working on fixing this problems and is definitely enlightened of the issue, asVentureBeatreported. For now, in that location doesn't seem to be any style to set up this Skype crash loop issue on iOS and Android. On Windows, however, you tin ask the sender of this troubled cord to delete the message. You take and then to delete your Skype app followed past reinstalling an older version of Skype.

1 thing to note is that while the issues affects Windows operating system, so far OS X has remained safe from this string crash issue. Similar Apple, Skype is also expected to observe some temporary bug set up and release it presently as an update.
