Q: iOS 9.3 - Safari/Mail freezes after clicking links on iPhone 6S

Hi,


Never had any problems with my iPhone 6S. Just upgraded to iOS 9.3 without any issues. After the upgrade, I can't click links when searching something on Google in Safari or clicking a link in the Mail, the apps just freeze.


I tried clearing Safari history data/cache, closing all apps and restarting the phone (both regular and holding both home/power key), disabling all sorts of settings form Safari settings, but no luck.. Anyone with an idea how to sort it out?

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3

    YYou have to restore as new. Restoring from a backup won't fix a thing.

    Nope. I only know my 6S Plus is doing this after I checked...because I noticed it on my iPad Mini 4 first.

    Now tell me why you find this thread hilarious?

    1. The rate people are chiming in?

    2. The fact that this isn't the only place people are chiming in?

    3. The fact that many people only have an IPhone and no other means to get online which requires the use of links in most cases since they will use search, thus making it impossible to even get to this site, depending on their tech savviness.

    4.The fact that many just plain don't chime in and only read?

    5. the fact that not everybody updates their devices immediately

    6. the fact that its all over the internet already with pages of links that show up in all search engines?

     

    Now do all your fancy witchcraft math and try applying all those variables giggles.

    IMHO the problem is because some apps on the devices arent built correctly using this method described in here (on apple iOS developer library guide guide)

    Look especially what i've put in BOLD

    PS: I all started my investigation starting from my older post in here       Link to this post     

     

     

                - canOpenURL:      

     

    Returns a Boolean value indicating whether or not the URL’s scheme can be handled by some app installed on the device.

     

    Declaration

    SWIFT

    func canOpenURL(_ url: NSURL) -> Bool

    OBJECTIVE-C

    - (BOOL)canOpenURL:(NSURL *)url

     

     

    Parameters

    url

    A URL (Universal Resource Locator). At runtime, the system tests the URL’s scheme to determine if there is an installed app that is registered to handle the scheme. More than one app can be registered to handle a scheme.

    The URL you pass to this method can have a common scheme or a custom scheme.

     

    Return Value

    NO if there is no app installed on the device that is registered to handle the URL’s scheme, or if you have not declared the URL’s scheme in your Info.plist file; otherwise, YES.

    Read the Discussion section for more information on conditions that affect the return value.

     

    Discussion

    If this method returns YES for a given URL, iOS guarantees that that if the openURL: method is subsequently called using the same URL, an app registered to handle the URL’s scheme will launch to handle it. This method’s return value does not indicate whether or not the full URL is valid or if the specified resource exists.

    If your app is linked against an earlier version of iOS but is running in iOS 9.0 or later, you can call this method on 50 distinct URL schemes. After hitting this limit, subsequent calls to this method return NO. If a user reinstalls or upgrades the app, iOS resets the limit.

    Unlike this method, the openURL: method is not constrained by the LSApplicationQueriesSchemesrequirement: If an app that handles a scheme is installed on the device, the openURL: method works, whether or not you have declared the scheme.

     

    Availability

    Available in iOS 3.0 and later.

    I would do that if there is a way to restore my iMessages without using my iTunes backup.

    My messages app contains every SMS and iMessage conversation I've had since 2008. Rebuilding the phone as new is not a solution. This has to be solved

    for existing backups. This is a closed ecosystem, if third party software is to blame, it has Apple's stamp of approval.

    Search form some SMS Backup and Restore Programs out there.

    You may have to pay, but it tsp been worth it for me.

    I found one. It's called iskysoft iPhone data recovery. It can scan an iTunes backup file and allow you to restore iMessages form it. I'm not desparat enough to spend $80 and cause myself a bunch of work to get around an Apple problem. Besides, who knows if the same problem won't occur again even I start from scratch. My phone ran on 9.3 without any issue for over a week.

    I hear you.  My phone ran iOS 9.3 beautifully for 5 days.

    Fortunately I have a license of Backuptrans for iPhone.  I've spent the last two hours getting back to 9.2.1, and restoring my messages and apps.

    Just wanted to add that if you wanna search for something, using Google.com won't help due to this error. Use bing.com The links work.

    In my case the problem started after I upgraded to IOS 9.2 in December 2015. I have disabled JavaScript and at times this works.
