I have seen a similar behaviour on ipad 2 forum and 9.2.1
Re: URLs not working in Safari or Mail after iOS 9.2.1
"Same issue here but with an iPhone 6s Plus / 9.2.1.
I tried everything, (cache, reset, reset network settings, safari suggestions, etc). Finally the only thing that worked was to restore factory settings deleting everything and links worked again!!. When I restored backup it fails. I lose many things if I start with factory settings.
I have restored the backup and waiting for the next update from Apple to solve this problem.
If anybody solve it please...!!"

BTW, that doesnt work either. You'll see in other questions this hyperlink problem with 9.2.1 carries inti 9.3 beta and Apple has not yet responded to the thousands of views ...
My temp solution of substituting Mail by CloudMagic and Safari by Chrome works great >80% of the time. I complement w Mercury and , of course, Mail & Safari.
For linked problems w Calender i am using Fantastic.
This has taken the pressure off me and I'm relaxed using my iPad again!
it's a big pain attempting to recover from all the different backups, iCloud, Dropbox, etc etc and at the end there are no guarantees that solution will hold longer term.
