If you noticed that Facebook Messenger was acting all kinds of weird on your iPhone and crashing for no reason this past weekend, you were not alone.

The update that infamously took up two to three gigabytes to download and actually did improve some functions on the iPhone, but a mobile developer says it may have been an obscure “CryptoTokenKit” code found in iOS 11 that caused the app to crash over the weekend.
