It doesn't cause permanent damage though. It just freezes & heats iOS until reboot.

/u/nullpixel says: "It's just the OS trying to decode a corrupted part of a video, and looping when doing so."

If you don't want open it. Watch this video (Skip to 1:10)

Yes, you can send link to your friends to prank them like the old effective power prank
Probably not effective on iOS 8 and lower
