iOS 13/13.1 safari issues

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!

so to update. I was suffering from this issue since the release of iOS 13 but since i got 13.2.2 and disabling in “settings>safari” any “content blockers”, then “clearing all safari data” and restarting phone, I am back in business, none of the issues I listed before are here anymore. I am not sure if it was the update or the disabling of ad blockers.

All,

Simply disable or turn off your 3rd party content blockers.

Now the “content” that is showing up blank will load as normal.

Google how content blockers work before using them.

Content blockers block certain javascripts and a lot of 3rd party apps include this safari extension.

To everyone with clearing cache, restarting, swiping up the app, etc those don’t fix the issue.

use a different browser and the issues go away.

safari is itself the issue.

But since safari is the default browser it complicates anything that uses safari like Twitter as the underlying mechanism to display webpages.

It’s only November, they usually iron out all the major bugs by Christmas. So only two months more of using chrome.

I went through some troubleshooting over chat and was redirected to a call the following day. Since I could not wait, I backed up the phone to iCloud and a local Mac, reset the phone completely by erasing all data. Then restore the phone using a local backup. The Safari then started to work again.

I know this sounds basic, but try going into Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data. Then see if the webpage will load. Worked for me. iPhone 10R here, just started running iOS 13.1.2

Been experiencing this way too often. Quick but annoying fix for me has been to swipe up to display running apps, then swipe safari off the screen, then reopen safari. That usually does it.

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.

Yup same here started with iPhone XR iOS 13.1 . This is the sequence.

1) blank pages or 1/2 rendered , especially from links

2) clearing cache or closing app sometimes helps for a bit

3) turning off any ad blockers still no help

4) formatted phone clean and did base restore from iTunes (was good for about 1 day) then right back to square one

5) Firefox and Chrome are my only solutions for now

(unrelated maybe some apps freeze 1/2 way on logos when there is an auth coming like face recognition)

Settings>Safari>General>Content Blockers.

This feature was introduced in iOS 9 circa 2013. Yes, I use Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN service, it offers “content blockers”. I also use 1Blocker (pretty dope, available on macOS as well).

Next, go to the Apple Apps Store... search “content blocker” and there will be plethora of third party blockers.

Next, use the following boolean search operators via google: “Content Blocker” and “ios” and “ios 13”.

Albeit, iOS 13 apple changed APIs a d rules for developers which crippled a lot of 3rd party c/b however pretty much all main stream developers have since adjusted.

I’ve been having the same issues with Safari not loading many pages after the ios upgrade. Currently on 13.1.3 and it still happens quite often. I am currently testing duck duck go and so far its been great.

I have this issue repeatedly on my iPad 2 only. I am using the default Google search engine. Problem only since iOS 13 and is driving me batty.

Some pages are blank after loading. I can usually get the page in reader view, but not in mobile or full website view.

Other times, the pages load too high up on the screen, with most of the page hidden behind the url address bar & bookmarks.

Clearing browser history briefly fixes this, but I don’t want to clear several times a day.

1/17/2020 ios 13.3 11pro max. and still having issues with safari. In general it’s like the memory management is flawed. I clear safari & reboot my phone several time a day just to keep functioning. This is honestly the first negative opinion I’ve had of an apple product but I’m considering firing up my old 6S Plus out of frustration.

Spesking for my iPad Pro, at this moment, that was having the same issues, I switched to yahoo. Both google and bing (Microsoft) have competing hardware platforms, yahoo doesn’t. So far, so good, four days and counting

So frustrating. I finally had to move Safari out of my ios shelf and replace with chrome. Apple please fix
