Evil Emoji Text Permacrashed Silence
Created by: cathalgarvey
Here's a very weird one for ye: I received an SMS from my sister last week that caused Silence to crash, and to then crash on opening until I wiped the data. I tried FCing the app, restarting the phone, everything; wiping the data was all that allowed me to continue using Silence.
Attached is a screenshot of the message from her phone; by this point I had wiped my Silence data, so sadly I have nothing other than this to provide. Her phone is an Android; I can get more specific detail if it matters. Mine is an Alcatel Onetouch running Silence 0.14.3, Build ID 3790d80b, installed from F-Droid.
Best guess: Something about the order of Emoji triggered a hook that expected an encrypted message, but my sister is too hostile to her own privacy to use Silence; this was all cleartext.
