Q: Safari suddenly won't work after trying reverse image search
I googled reverse image search, went to a page for that, don't remember what the page was, tried reverse searching for an image. The site kept crashing, safari kept shutting down. That happened four times, I stopped trying and kept using the phone including safari. When I woke up this morning safari doesn't work. When I open the app it goes to a blank screen, then shuts down. When I press the button to bring up all the open apps, it shows a web page that I had open previously (not the reverse image search), when I select safari that page shows on the screen briefly, then safari shuts down. i have done two hard reboots, I've powered off the phone and restarted it, and I've synced in iTunes. None of those things made a dent in the problem.
I don't know if any of this is related, but the charging port on the phone seems to be failing. I almost always have to jiggle the charging cord to get it to charge, and sometimes it stops charging. That happens with multiple cords, and doesn't happen with my wife's newer phone.
It's an iPhone 5s w/ 16GB and iOS 9.2
Thanks for any help or advice.
