There's a new prank going around that is driving iPhone up the wall but people keep falling for it!

What happens is, this random link sends you to a website called crashsafari.com, which does exactly what it says - when you click it, your iPhone or iPad will heat up significantly and then be forced into a reboot.

People have taken to Twitter to express their frustration:

Right now, lots of jokers are posting shortlinks to 'crashsafari․com'. The link will reboot your iPhone. Watch out. pic.twitter.com/3mZby5Xpo2
