Q: Google links don't work after iOS 9.3

After update to iOS 9.3 on my iPhone 6 Plus I can no longer click on search links from Google anymore. Tried both in Safari and Chrome. Works well with Bing.com.

 

If I hold down on the link and choose to open in new tab it works.

 

restarted apps -> same result

Rebooted iPhone twice -> same result.

 

suggestions?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.3

    That's Disappointing.

     

    Restoring will fix it and after a restore you will be able to install Booking.com without issue. The bad data is actually stored in a keychain item only the swc process has access to. That item is not part of iOS backups so it doesn't get retained across restores. (iCloud Keychain is not the Keychain swcd uses)

    IT is true of everyone that had Booking.com installed for about a week ending on the 28th, depending on swcd's internal, unknown update schedule. It affects all versions of iOS 9.x, including iOS 9.0.2. It's unrelated to the iOS 9.3 update.

    I Think youve misunderstood. Booking.com had a data file that triggered the link bug that existing in iOS since iOS 9.0. In order to fix it, the bad data needs to be removed from swcd. That's proving very, very hard. Even though the Booking.com people fix the issue in their app and on their server, iOS just refuses to let go.

    So, delete Booking.com altogether?   Have read other threads indicating that was useless.  Feel like I am stuck with a non working phone, to include my maps . . . thanks for your help

    Deleting it only works if swcd isn't crashing. If it's crashing, swcd never gets the uninstall notification and leaves the bad data behind. If you can uninstall immediately after reboot, it moght work. By might I mean it's only worked for 3 people, including me.

    Thanks, no luck for me.  However, oddly Safari works and if I used open incognito tab it works from Chrome . . . crazy, 

    Thanks for your help

    Sorry, but illogical: If iPhone is in "airplane mode" > then shut off and back on, then deleting the app quickly after booting up; that (according to your theory on what's actually the culprit) would fix this very simple issue as the "bad code" from booking.com's app wouldn't even get pushed through. There would be zero execution. The bad code cannot affect only the internal OS, without exporting it's execution online. Apple isn't silly enough to allow an app to change the OS. Common now. There is a much bigger issue at hand here & we cannot see it.

    +1, latest iPad mini, all apps affected + some apps fails to strt  less you reinstall them + text editing in Safari  weird now: touch to place cursor isn't working sometimes... or you are not able to edit text if you place cursor next to some word within paragraph. Did anyone tested this sh#t before releasing it???

    Good to hear, being a complete novice as to all of this and no real computer knowledge, this all seems so crazy . . . nothing is working other than as I said, Safari and if I go from Chrome to open incognito tab it will open, but that is a total pain and I haven't even checked maps, etc.  Today when I was trying to use one it said no data available for this area, which was a very developed area.  Something seems far from right. 

     

    Thanks to everyone!
