Hey Cole000,


It appears that that you're having a problem with Safari on your iPhone. You’re unable to open links in Safari, and also Google Chrome. You also mention that your internet has been limited, and we're glad to provide assistance.


If Safari displays a blank page or quits on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support -- If this is a specific issue with Safari, see if the steps in this article helps.


If it's more a problem with your internet connection, we've supplied a few resources for both Wi-Fi issues and Cellular data issues:

If you’re still having a problem, please reply to this thread with which model of iPhone you’re using and which iOS it’s currently on (Settings > General > About). Also, please provide more detail about the problem you’re having and include the full text of any error messages you receive.


All the best.

I’m experiencing this too - right down to no other browsers working. For me it’s specifically not being able to log into a trading url that shows live depth and price charts. Sometime I can load the page if I flip my phone to landscape but the entire page still doesn’t load. This, by far, has been one of Apple’s WORST “updates” for iPhone that I can remember!

Interesting I'm dealing with the same thing Cole. Funny, I have an old iPad mini2 running iOS 9.3.5 and my troublesome links work fine. My mgr. has an iPad with iOS 12 and the same troublesome links work without issue.


On my iPad running iOS 15.2 the said links do not work in Chrome, Safari, or Firefox, those links act as if they're inert - tapping does nothing. I don't feel this is a browser specific issue it seems to be something in iOS 15.xx. I too am looking for an update now that I'm reading these issues multiple users are having.


Support - you seem to have multiple users seeing the same issue that's inconsistent at best. ITs not every link but its enough links to become an issue.
