@/pgtalal's Instagram story highlight freezes up Instagram and then your phone! Here's why

The Instagram story highlight has a quiz, countdown and a question on the story which is wayyy out of bounds and the size is HUGE. This causes a rendering issue.

- This is not the same as the old iMessage bug
- Do not panic. Your phone is SAFE, there's nothing wrong - you haven't been hacked or anything.
- This is a bug on Instagram's side where they're not checking for sticker's x,y coords and width and height to be within limits.

On the iOS side, this seems to be an issue with CoreAnimation crashing backboardd due to Instagram asking it to render a really really large cube (this is most likely the same cube effect that's shown when swiping through stories)

Another glitch (which was also triggered by @/pgtalal), is where the Instagram app crashes. This is due to right-to- left characters rendered alongside some new line characters, reverse line feed character and some other special chars which should be stripped by Instagram's API.

Update: As of now, stories can no longer crash your entire device! @/pgtalal has taken the story down that crashes your phone. This glitch has been fixed by Instagram!

The issue that crashes the Instagram app after viewing a specially crafted story still persists!
