Spent a few too many sleepless nights working on this one - Do consider sharing this message if you found it useful / interesting! 👊 Slight correction - I've been told the arabic text translates to "Check the next story" and "something so pretty" - I'm blaming Google Translate 😂 UPDATE - Instagram has finally fixed the crashing! They've actually implemented the rule we talk about in this video! To see my last video about crazy inventions: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ec5khbpjnaedcWw.html To see the most expensive phone unboxing you've ever seen: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKp3YNFpr7TDZ2w.html

This 14 year old kid self taught for 3 years & managed to hack instagram. Me at 32 still undecided on which Spongebob episode I'm gonna watch tonight.

This guy reacted with a “you are welcome” and is only 14. What a freaking legend.

I love how Arun isn't taking all of the credit for figuring this out. He's such an honest person and one of my favourite youtubers

9:48 it is sooo cute to see milo the cat as a baby and now seeing him as a grown up makes me think that time goes by too fast

Imagine your $1000 smartphone getting crashed by a 14 year old who was bored 💀

Damn. This kid basically launched the equivalent of a strategic nuclear weapon on the iOS camp.

The text is in arabic It says “Look at the story after this one”

Moral of the story: Its amazing what teenagers can do. Dont underestimate them

Man's a legend doing this shit at only 14. It's pretty inspirational, though I'm concerned about Instagram/facebook letting this happen in the first place

"you are welcome" reaction is just a cherry on top of his programming flex

Back in grade 9 I found one of these online, found if you changed a few things, the receivers phone would crash trying to open any app except messages, then they would have to send a message back to the sender to stop it, if you didn’t know who it was that sent it your phone was busted until you deleted all messages

Just came from his latest video "All Nintendo Console/Switches" and noticed the HUGE audio quality difference. Great work Arun!

Talal at 14: Crashes iphones with ease Me at 14: * Pulls a door that cleary says "Push" *

This is definitely the scariest part about Technology. From annoyances like phone crashes to actual plane crashes, all because of software glitches & loopholes

This is awesome. As of CS background these problems can be said as buffer overflow. In simple terms, it's the overflow of data....when data is given more than it should be.

I love how Milo is just standing on the table and listening about smth he doesn't understand at all

I was never happier being an Android user then now

The wallpaper: *Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary*

🧐I just Subscribed. I like your style the way your keep the viewer intrigued the whole way...✔️

This is why you always validate any input you receive on server side. At least it wasn't something worse like a buffer overflow/arbitary code execution attack (:

The fact that a 14 year old claimed to pull this whole thing off is insanely impressive

That kid's an absolute legend. I appreciate that he is using his genius to make a point, rather than steal people's information, or something worse. I love that he reacted with "You Are Welcome" to your comment, that's incredible.

This is the first vid ever i watched from your channel!!

One of my favorite videos ever, thanks 😊

Lesson Learned: never go to any instagram stories because you never know which one of them is gonna kill your phone

This "You are welcome" reaction was such a badass move just to show off his power I love it

This is cool stuff. Glad I found this channel

this is why you need back end validation lol. also the fact that the stickers would've been many times the size of the earth is kind of terrifying, i don't normally think about what large numbers really mean and that blew my mind

So basically, the dude enlarged story stickers so much that when laid out their size is dozens of times bigger than the earth.

*that kid at 11 years: manages to break people's phones* *me at 11 years: figuring out how the fridge lights turns on and off* 🙄

If you screenshot and cut a little bit the images then you translate it in Google Lens the texts on the crashed story texts will say "In the story after that" and the one with the purple count-down background will say "Something sweet passed by".

Ok that is insane. Nice detective work Arun.

Him being 14 years old and doing this makes it one of the biggest flex in anime

Talal kid: 14 years old, can crash your phone through a story Me: 22 years old, can’t open a jar

9:30 OH MY GOSH THAT CAT IS SO FRIGGIN CUTE AAAAAAAAA

Talal's "you're welcome" response was such a power move

Reacting with a "you are welcome" is such a badass move lmao

Very entertaining and educational video 🎉 Thank you! ❤

Ok THIS can be the BEST technology Chanel on YT and thats have to bee an error of Instagram an the divice IS if not that i dont know

Him: "he's only 14 and started at 11" Me: "what have i done with my life"

The kid replies with "You are welcome" react. What a legend !

this guy can make so many apps with his skills !!! and he is only fourteen. respect

10:46 made me smile. The little hacking he did to put you are welcome is so cute lolol

Talal at 14: Hacks and crashes iPhones around the world. Me at 14: Playing NFS Underground 2 all day.

Him at 14: Hacking and crashing all phones around the world. Me at 14: How to get in-game money for free and then get scammed with an account stolen.

This video was so long but it was DEFINITELY worth it

This is amazing how you found this out

this is the best video in my recommended so far today

"It's like sending my babies off to torture, But i did learn something interesting" out of context is the scariest sentence I've ever heard

Well done Arun 👍

Mind blowing that a kid who was the same age as I was at the time managed to do this. Meanwhile I'm sitting here with base level knowledge of Python doing cybersecurity as a hobby.

I like how he is genuinely using his time in quarantine for coding while I just stay in bed all day

The fact that he's 14 and he reacted 'you are welcome' is Mind Blowing!

thank you arun !!! but nobody gonna talk abt his adorable kitten

this reminds me of a video called something like "worst game glitches ever": one story was about a Skateboarding game, i think it was part of the "tony hawk" series. it had an instant-messaging system for talking to other players. the system also had an optional keyboard peripheral. BUT, if someone used that system to sent a message containing odd characters like "!@#$%^&*()" to some who DID NOT HAVE that keyboard peripheral... THEIR COPY OF THAT GAME WOULD BE PERMANENTLY RUINED!

This is like Arun is a detective who was trying to solve a very big mystery for sake of the world, and apparently the mysterious Talal guy actually a 14 y.o. kid who's trying looking someone to play with just because he got bored and lonely.

Translation in Arabic means “open the next story, something very astonishing is waiting for you” this is the context

i have made something kind of similar but not in instagram but in a game called geometry dash i made a level that is so incredibly long its literally 40k minutes and the level percentage wont move what ive did was to take a copy of a normal level and add an object and put it at the absolute end of the level but it cant get passed 14 minutes so i had to use a glitch which is make that object move with a move trigger and i place a ton of them then while the triggers move the object i managed to save the level meaning that object will stay in place and the level turned to be almost impossible and it could possibly crash your computer if it has a intel potato inside chip it may causes heating up for medium end computers

Love your videos man

my god the amount of willpower it's taking to not search this guy and look at the story

That "You're welcome" reaction was some serious flexing by the kid 😂

Amazing kid. I wanna tell my students about him! ❤

9:33 AWWWW! Kitty! 💖

That kid is a genius. Seriously! Teams of testers ( including casual users ) didn’t figure this out and he did. Statistically he’s one in billions. That’s talent and someone should take action by hiring him so that he can do good!

He probably has the knowledge to do some serious shit but instead he did something relatively harmless, as well as being able to be open and up front about it, even answering questions about it. Thats mad respect right there

That only post of his that was later deleted was not a montage it was a clear edit. I know one when i see one. Maybe he was an editor and a developer but after a while of blowing up from developing he started constetraiting on the developer skill as he might actually one day come back. There is a possibility that he might come back as an editor but used this to get the fame to be noticed. Grate video though! - Bun

THE KITTY IS SO ADORABLEEE

I love how Talal teased you with the custom “You’re welcome” reaction 😂

Well since google translator is mostly broken, here’s the real translation of the Arabic texts: 1:19 = “check out the next story” 3:20 = “pretty things inside” and “reeeeally pretty things inside” 😂 The guy is obviously just having fun

The text actually translates to: شيء حلو: something cool شيء مرة حلو: something really cool It looks like google translate thought مره (mara) meant bitter since, well, مر (mor) means bitter, but when you say مره حلو (mara helo) its means something like very or a lot or really, like an emphasis The word مرة (mara) means "one time" but its like saying "many times" so youre somethings cool many times = very cool (Its hard to literally translate this into english)

5:08 bro got more messages than my english and math teatcher combined

He is 14... my biggest achievement at 14 was successfully pass my English exam

You should make a video on lemonade hero, my class used it for school but sometimes when using it wouldn’t let you do anything and yet the iPad was still responsive, doing lots of random stuff and pressing buttons. Couldnt even use the buttons.

i will watch this story immediately

Parents: oh he is just a kid he still has alot to learn in life Kids:

“Ferb, i know what we will do today”

icl I did this to my iPhone 7 in 2021 to convince my parents I needed a upgrade (it worked) 😭

The return of the legendary outro!

when you realize he’s only 14 😳

Apple: This is the most powerful smartphone to ever exist. Also Apple:

Well done, dude!

Me at 11: “why cant I draw realistically 😩” Him at 11: **learns advance coding**

A 14 yr old kid did this? That’s amazing! He’s gonna be making some serious money when he gets older.

If anyone was curious I speak Arabic and on the iPhone crashing part it said “see my story” welcome if anyone was curious!

“Goodbye” would be the best prank ever

When I was 14 - today I will skip studies and watch cartoons with cousins This kid at 14 :

Lmfao honestly,you just gotta respect the kid.Dude literally got through the whole of instagrams security by himself at the age of 14 with 3 years of experience.

Thanks arun. Really interesting. There are some smart cookies out there

Im here, 18 years old, watching this video having the hehes and hahas meanwhile this kid is finding exploits that has the ability to crash the UIs thousands and thousands of phones. Literally amazed by Talal's work!

My biggest achievment at 14 was not to fall asleep during a history class. fml.

Talal at 14: Makes a story that crashes thousands of iPhones world wide. Average 14 year old: "Watches Talal's story on their iPhone and it crashes"

thank you for the informational video

When you said that sticker was the size of the earth multiple times my heart stopped for a few seconds

as an arab, i can confirm that the hilight is actually “something realllyyyyy nice” and the second one is “something nice really” which is grammatically correct in arabic, this is just the literal translation. the story says “watch the following story”

That guy at the age 14: **Crashes thousands of phones all around the world"* Me at 14: **Gets jumpscared by a cat**

Your reaction after the phones came back to life and made you smile made me feel warm inside.

Nice safety system apple 😂

1:17 Yes, that is Arabic and it says: " check the story after this one".

Imagine going into an apple shop and opening that post on each device.
