Safari jumps to the top of the previous page

I’m afraid this has been tried long ago. It does not fix the problem. Apple have done nothing to fix this. It’s the worst bug I’ve ever seen over years that has not been addressed.

these workarounds don’t work. Even opening in new tab and going back doesn’t work. Safari is horrible on iOS because of this. Many of us experience this. Every iOS update doesn’t address it.

They are not going to fix it. It is now January 2023 and it still doesn't work properly. I'm going to start using Firefox, because it doesn't do it. I don't know what Apple's problem is. They really have spread themselves far too thin. Glitches everywhere are being ignored.

I am having same problem since updating to 15.4. NO double-tapping. Just the back arrow. Does the same in other search engines not just Google.

This has been bugging me for years. It’s not new to 15.4 in any way.

Please report to Apple! If you take a screen recording and send to em, they’ll see it’s a big issue to fix…

Factory reset could work maybe but so irritating to start from scratch…

If you try it please let us know…

Thank you so much.

Type it in YouTube and watch views and reviews of the faults your having other people have solved

The only solution is to changing the search bar to the bottom, i know is annoying the new change but you have to get used to it, end of the story.

I can confirm moving the adress bar works. It’s clearly a bug. I’ll report it (doesn’t count on any response).

I don’t believe it’s a bug! It’s intentional in the programming to force scrolling past ads repeatedly. Simply monetizes your browsing, in which case…unlikely to be fixed!

Actually, you’re mistaken. Her “conspiratorial” suggestion, as you say, has worked for others and after giving it a shot, it fixed the issue for me as well. This is a/the solution to the issue.

⭐️ Kudos to Applegaveup for sharing!! ⭐️

Here is a screen recording how it is on the iPad. Seeing this on all my Apple devices in Safari.

GIRL!!!!! You win the prize THIS IS THE FIX. Followed your instruction and it worked here too. I suspect it was turning off “Preload Top Hit” that proves the fix but I’ll look at that later.

at the suggestion of Apple Care I was going to factory reset my phone because they exhausted every troubleshooting trick they had for this one. Thanks to you I don’t have to. Thank you so very much!!

someone alert Apple Care and suggest they hire Ashley 🙂
