And my classmates now hate me :(
As long as they don't know who it is, you're safe.
This is how those iPhone crashes worked with the Flipper Zero, I believe. Which allegedly was also able to crash some medical devices and actually hurt people.
Yeah it crashed my pacemaker now my heart only beats to the McDonald’s jingle.
With the app that I linked to, I was able to crash friend's iPhone multiple times.
