**Apple’s latest operating system, iOS 18, has been plagued by a serious bug that causes the Messages app to crash repeatedly.** The bug is triggered when someone shares an Apple Watch face through iMessage.

**Users are advised to avoid replying to any messages containing shared watch faces, as doing so will lead to the app crashing for both the sender and recipient.** The issue makes it impossible to access any chats and prevents users from communicating via Messages.

**While no official solution is currently available, the only workaround is to delete the entire conversation containing the shared watch face.** This process can be challenging due to the constant crashing of the app and unfortunately results in the permanent loss of all messages, photos, videos, and attachments.

**Apple is expected to address this bug in an upcoming update, likely iOS 18.0.1.** Users are urged to stay informed for further updates and exercise caution until a fix is released.
