Always have to reCAPTCHA with Safari - search engine Google

Since iOS 15 update, I have to always reCAPTCHA to search anything new - this can be on the same tab or a new tab. I have close Safari app after every search and have cleared my history and website data several times. I have also restarted my phone several times.

How do I stop this incredibly annoying feature?

Hi Rachel,

Being able to browse seamlessly is the experience we all love, and we'd like to help get you back to searching with Google without any issues. Let's start with confirming some basics:

You mentioned that this occurs in Safari, but have you tried a different internet browser?
When did this first start?
As you have a compatible model, the latest version is iOS 15.0.2. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. Here's a link that'll show how to first back up, then Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Take care!

I have not tried a different browser (after google chrome hacking issues, I am not comfortable, haha)

It first started 10 days ago and I have most up-to-date software.

I am still having issues here and there - but it’s now 80% of my searches rather than 100%

Hello Rachel,

You mentioned not having tested another internet browser, and that you didn't want to use Google Chrome, but let us know what occurs when you try a different browser.

As you also mentioned this occurs when using the Google website, have you tried another search engine website in Safari?

Have a good one!
