iOS 9.2.1- Safari crashes everytime you tap on the search/address bar

If you open Safari on iOS 9.2.1 and tap on the search/address bar, the browser crashes instantly to the home screen. Verified this on 3 different iPhone units, 2 iPhone 6 and 1 iPhone 6S Plus, all updeted to the last iOS version, so is definitely an iOS 9.2.1 bug. If you open a "private mode" tab, the browser works just fine.

All the iPhones affected I've tried, are running iOS with language set on Italian.

Have you seen this bug? Solutions? Clearing history/cache doesn't seem to resolve the issue.

Thanks,


Paolo

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1

Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on this device.

  • Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
  • Press and hold on the Home button
  • Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.

Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

If this does not help, restore your device to factory settings. Note that this will erase the data from your device.

Take a look this Apple Support article: Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.
