iOS Safari freezes when I type something specific in address bar

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?

Hello Spek1,

I can understand wanting to make sure Safari and your iPhone are working as expected. Here are some great steps and information About iOS performance on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

If you follow all the steps and still have the issue, reply back with answers to the following questions so we can go from there:

What kind of iPhone do you use?
Which version of the software is currently installed on your iPhone?
Have you made a recent backup of your device? Here are the steps on How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

I hope these steps help out.

Cheers!
