Quick gem to sort out the Whatsapp database for text causing crashes on iOS8 Beta 1/2. Whatsapp for some reason (would be quite interesting to know why) crashes when receiving certain character strings, if|fi|ff. (http://www.reddit.com/r/iOS8/comments/28e3ub/beta_2_whatsapp_fix/)
DISCLAIMER: Unless you specify a path to Chatstorage.sqlite that's not mounted on your phone you may kill your database. Which if you are trying this would probably already be unusable so much of a muchness.
