iOS 13/13.1 safari issues

Since upgrading to iOS 13/13.1, I have been having issues with safari loading web pages. It goes not seem to affect all pages, however on some google searches and web pages, it’s finishes loading however no content is displayed. This is happening on my iPhone X which is one 13.1, also on my iPad Air 2 which is also on 13.1 and my old iPhone 7 Plus which is on 13.


anyone else having this same issue and is there a fix for this?

Yes there’s a fix! One of the solutions mentioned in the forum worked for me. Go to Settings>Safari>Advanced>Experimental Features and turn everything off.


I’m not sure why they were enabled by default. Turning them off worked!

Try this. Go to settings, safari default search engine. Change to anything but google,

i checked yahoo. So far problem gone. Not an expert by any means but since Google software and its platform devices are in competition with Apple software and it’s platform devices, perhaps there is a bug in google search engine that freezes safari but not chrome. End result, you become a google fan.

Still no response from Apple - it is super ridiculous. Not sure when the next update is happening - but I hope it tackles this issue. They say they are only collating information - for the engineers. Not sure if they have scheduled anything on this, as yet.


We can hope.

It is a pain. I had to use Firefox, for now. I may just switch for good. I thought Safari could do most of what I wanted - but obviously not!

From Da_Apple_Guy: I saw this in my email - cant see it on here.

Yes, we know... Safari 13 for iOS is broke and you are switching to Android and migrating to Chrome.


Truth: You will be back with the iOS 13.4 drop. You will continue to buy iPhones year over year. You will continue to misuse forums and complain about your lack of or failed first world entitlements.

Forums for technical problems are simple:


  1. Start a thread by bringing attention to a problem you are experiencing.
  2. Concur with someone else’s experience or explain how your’s differs.
  3. Ok this is a big one... wait for it... provide a solution ??
  4. Discuss with others that a solution didn’t work, does not apply or did not fix your issues.


Wow!

The Arrogance is unbelievable. Thanks(NOT!) - for your help on this. Yeah and its "Your issues"


Several suggestions have been posted, and they simply don't work - this was opened in September by the way.

So far the solutions have included:

  • removing content blockers (which most people don't seem to use)
  • removing any extensions (when we have tried this, it still hasn't solved the issue).

The technical issue has been posted, with lots of posts, information and recordings and has had lots of replies.

I can't believe that it has taken 3 months of not being able to use Safari on devices, for Apple to do Nothing.


Whilst Apple maybe great at charging us thousands of pounds for devices that are cheaper elsewhere - their support seems to be very poor.

Even an update stating "engineers are looking into this" would. help - but no, we just get silence.


And yeah, of course we should pay £1000 for a phone, that doesn't let us browse the internet reliably

Or a £3000 MacBook Pro that doesn't let us browse the internet reliably

Or a £1000 iPad that doesn't let us browse the internet reliably


Sure, we should pay that, because that will be Apple customers(or mugs) for life, right???


And Because Apple guys really "care" that we can't use our phones in 2020, to do something reliably that was possible in 2008.


Fantastic progress.


I don't usually get cross at support people, having been one in a past life.

I don't mind them taking time, as long as they communicate.


No communication, and arrogant posts, don't help anyone @Da_Apple_Guy

Ok... fair enough. 


Yeah I guess I was trolling a bit. Definitely did not want to come off arrogant... just keeping it real and calling it how I see it. But reading my aforementioned response... it actually contradicts me a little. It was more of impulsive response but whatever its moot... I digress.


So from my standpoint, bring solutions to the table... provide feedback and a an educated response to the solution(s) working or not working. Provide additional suggestions for any temporary work-arounds until the problem(s) get addressed.


Getting a notification daily about this thread and beings optimistic on some new news and seeing the same old complaints it got a little old.


Ok Sure, 


Your right, I digress.
