Couldn’t think of a better title, TL;DR via receiving an iMessage with a specially crafted image, an attacker can get full access to your device. Update iOS immediately to resolve the issue

PSA: Android just published a patch for a very similar vulnerability in their September Security release. You should update your Android devices ASAP.

How do you block MMS from unknown senders on iOS?

Settings > Messages > SMS/MMS > MMS Messaging (uncheck)

And/Or

Message Filtering > Filter Unknown Senders (checked)

Those seem to be the likely options, but I’ve zero idea if those will work.

at this point most iphone users are very much used to reicive images within imessage and have already forgotten that mms existed or are too young to actually ever had to deal with it, so to them it’s just yet another picture.
