Over the past week or so, I’ve noticed that Safari freezes on my iPhone whenever I type the letters “sa” into the address bar. I’ve cleared my cache, I’ve turned the phone off and on, but it’s still doing it. If I type letters before “sa” it will let me type the “sa” but if I then delete all of the other letters, it freezes the moment it’s back to being just “sa”. Any idea what could be causing it?
iPhone XS
So, my phone just stops, goes black and I get the spinning cursor. Randomly from any app. Have tried support and they don’t /can’t help…..happened with iPhone 11 Pro right when I got it a year and half ago
I’m Having the exact same problem here.
iPhone 6S
IOS 13.6.1
Same issue! Just SA!
I has iOS 14.0.1 with an iPhone 7 and have the same problem with the letter s freezing the screen. Will Apple address this problem. And how do I fix the problem myself.
If I try to search and start with the letter p or s my iphone 8 locks up for about 5 seconds and then crashes back to my home screen. No issue with the other 24 letters of the alphabet.
Same thing here, only happens with p and a.
I have the exact same problem on iPhone X but its not when i type "SA" its whenever i type a letter safari freezes
Cleared history
no solution
I am having the same issue. Have had it on my last three phones all Iphones
I just had the same exact problem. I thought my safari kept freezing, until I noticed it was literally just when I (started) typing “SA” in the URL bar... any other combination or typing it after other letters was fine, just starting with “SA” made it freeze up. (Side Note: I was originally trying to search “Sagacious definition” lol)
Switching search engines did not work for me. The problem seems to be Safari-based and not search engine linked. The search bar and the entire Safari app freezes, that is I cannot even open another search window, when I start a search with the letter <s>. My only help is re-booting the phone. I have an iPhone 11 and am using iOS 14.2.
I have the exact same issue. I can’t type anything after “sa” in the url box. What’s causing it? How do I fix it? The link in the response does not help at all.
This was 100 percent a fix I tried restarting it updating clearing settings once I read this and cleared the history no problem thank you ThePonder simple but worked not sure why iPhone does this
Clear your search history !
