WHAT A BOOB

Secret porn stash found on MILLIONS of Apple iPhones as iOS 10 update allows kids to access X-rated GIFs

Shock as tame words like 'hard' and 'huge' conjure up hardcore porn images in iPhone users' text messages

APPLE has made a boob of its new iOS 10 messaging system -- which allows young users to send images of PORN.

The much lauded update launched on Tuesday giving users the option of turning their written text messages into moving images called GIFs.

Software scans the message and gives a suggested GIF that could be sent along with it.

But shocked iPhone and iPad users have discovered that typing phrases like "hard" or "oh my God" in their texts can conjure up explicit porn images.

Overtly sexual words were already blocked from the software -- but users quickly found that more obscure phrases could result in porn snaps.

"I grabbed the phone from her immediately.

"She typed in the word 'huge,' which isn't sexual in any nature.

"It's just a word, not like 'butt' or anything else."

Tech giant Apple, which today launched its latest iPhone 7 around the world, has begun removing the explicit GIFs from its new operating system.

On Wednesday Apple apologised after some users reported the update caused their phones to crash.

One iPad owner wrote on Twitter: "Well… my iPad Pro didn’t take to the #ios10 update very well. It’s a brick."
