There is a new Android bug in the town, and it is
aesthetically pleasing. As revealed by the popular leakster Ice
Universe, an image showing a scene of sunset when used as wallpaper on
an Android device is bricking the smartphones.

The beautiful image is circulating on the social media platforms, and
there are several users who are setting the image as the wallpaper
despite the warnings.
The reason behind why this cursed image is causing Android smartphones
to malfunction is that it has an improperly color-coded profile, which
is beyond the scope of what Android can handle.
When set as a wallpaper, the image is crashing Android devices with
several complaining their smartphone is stuck in a boot loop or cannot
progress from the bootloader screen. Either way, it has been
soft-bricked.
The image is said to be affecting Samsung, OnePlus, and Google Pixel
smartphones primarily. Moreover, the image is also causing Android
Emulators to crash.

Try getting rid of the Android wallpaper bug
In case you have already become the victim of ‘curiosity killed the
cat,’ here’s what you can do now:
Try booting your smartphone in the safe mode by pressing the power and
volume up button simultaneously.
If you are using a custom ROM or a rooted Android device that is stuck
in a boot loop, reset the wallpaper data to default.
Factory reset your device from the bootloader, but remember, you’ll lose
all your data in the process.
This isn’t the only weird bug in recent times. The previous month, a bug
crashed iOS devices with just a text message written in Telugu.
