Steps to be followed:

  • Download the file here.
  • Upload it to iCloud Drive, Dropbox etc.. (just if you want to keep it).
  • Share the file to send it via Message
  • Send it to your victim.
  • Wait for the victim click on it, the Message application freeze and don’t work anymore.
  • Fix the app with this magical link

When you click, iOS want to read the text, the text in the file is very complicated for the system and cause a CPU average: the app freeze. You close the app, want to reopen but iOS want to reload the earlier message but can’t because it’s the vcf file.

By sending yourself a message in Siri, or ask someone else to send you a message.
