WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app developed till date. Here we get connected with all our friends and family easily. Here we see a vast variety of forwarded messages which contains things like jokes, quotes, informative messages, and some other fun texts. Sometimes we do get few messages which have some unsolved mystery behind. One of the mystery is a new text that’s being forwarded on WhatsApp. Today, we are going to talk about the latest one here.
The latest set of text is floating on WhatsApp like a forest fire. It has three words, and if we click on that particular message, the WhatsApp first gets hanged and later crashed. People are using it in a fun way to make their friend’s WhatsApp laggy and crash. These three words are: ‘don’t touch here‘. And obviously, people do touch these type of messages and gets trapped. But many of us are curious to know what speciality these three words have or in a more technical word, what codes and commands were used by the one who made this silly text. Today, we at TechnoBugg have a answer to this question as well. So let’s have a look at the reason behind the same.
What’s behind the words
As you all know that many of us are curious to know the secret behind this text message, but there are some people who keen to find out the mystery. Here at TechnoBugg, we found out the answer to this mystery with the help of a programmer, Tanishq N. Bhandwaldar. Well, it’s not a bug or virus. If someone has studied a bit of C programming, he/she would be familiar that computers read the text in ASCII format.
Now the text ‘don’t touch here‘ is compressed form of ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format. If you convert this text in ASCII format, surprisingly you will find that there are total 23,643 characters compressed under those three texts. These characters are nothing but just a set of random numbers. And if you don’t know, WhatsApp can’t support this much amount of text on a single smartphone. That’s the reason why the WhatsApp app crashes on the smartphones when you touch this text. This text can be encoded within our Android smartphones as well. If you do want to checkout those 23,643 characters, then here’s how to.
To know how to find it out, follow the mentioned steps:
- Go to Play Store, and install the ASCII Converter app.
- Open the app, and you will see the area of placing the simple text on the top.
- Copy the ‘don’t touch here’ text and paste it on the given space.
- That’s it. Those 23,643 characters will be displayed.
So this is the complete mystery behind this laggy text. Now whenever you get this text from somewhere and your WhatsApp gets crashed, don’t get panic or believe that your phone is caught by virus or threads. It’s just the overloading of thousands of texts together, nothing else. So stay calm, and stay tuned with us for more information.
