Detected a bug that blocks our iPhone through the Control Center

It is true that we had not had a bug in the iPhone operating system for a long time - I think I remember from last December with the access to photos - and a few hours ago A new bug has been detected in the iOS 10 operating system. In this case it is true that it does not cause security problems on the device, nor does it access personal data or does not compromise anything we have on our iPhone, it is at least curious that we have been with it for so long and no one noticed it. but above all Apple.

With the amount of beta versions that we previously have before any launch of the operating system, it seems strange that these bugs escape, in this case iOS is still just as safe, but it allows one touch to lock the device completely.

The bug extends from the first version of iOS 10, in this case it is known that it fails in iOS 10.2 onwards until reaching the current version 10.3.1 and anyone can perform this iPhone lock simply Accessing from the iPhone Control Center. One of the reasons why I always recommend to my acquaintances and friends that the Control Center is not accessible from the lock screen is so that they cannot activate the airplane mode in case of loss of the device and be able to use the Find my iPhone to find it, but now this bug is added that would be accessible from the lock screen ...

As we have already said, the bug is not bad, just leave the device locked until the iPhone restarts automatically, but better than anyone can access the CC from the lock screen. To reproduce the problem we have to follow these steps:

  1. Open Control Center
  2. Press Airdrop and Camera at the same time (with two fingers)
  3. The iPhone will freeze until it restarts automatically

It may not crash on the first try, but if we insist on pressing at the same time, it crashes. This shows that operating system details may leak and that there is no perfect OS. In any case, we can make "a joke" with this bug, but we are not going to overdo it either. The bug is already reported and surely in the following versions of iOS the bug will be solved.

    It seems that with the latest beta of iOS 10.3.2 it is solved because I can not do it.

      Hello Feli, if you press both at the same time two or three times it will come out.

    In iOS 10.3.2 it was fixed. At least my iPhone 6s with the latest beta does not come out. Greetings.
