This Instagram Story Kills Your Phone ⚠️ ? #shorts

Kill My Phone Instagram story that makes smartphones crash
Apparently, if you visit @pgtalal’s page on the platform and view one of the highlights provided on it, the next story will close your Instagram and crash your phone.

Many people have attempted to understand the logic behind this viral phenomenon for a week now. However, it was hard to procure evidence on how this glitch worked as the popular user chose to maintain his silence over it. This was until Arun Maini, a UK based tech YouTuber, came up with the closest conclusion that prompted a reply from Pgtalal.

Maini found that the creator of this glitch was a 14-year-old hacker who programmed the Instagram story crash by writing several codes that send requests to Instagram servers. When he was asked about how the highlight was made, Talal said he would like it to remain a secret. This Internet fiasco also garnered the attention of experts who attempted to break down the coding behind the scam. Ananay Arora, a security researcher at Arizona State University, US, took to his Instagram to address the concerns of the netizens.
