I am trying to get into my Google Photos. It wants me to sign in, but it keeps saying web kit encountered internal error. What do I do to resolve this problem

Hey Bulldogmetal9,


We'd recommend reviewing the information in this article as it provides steps to help resolve website issues in Safari on iPhone: If Safari isn't loading websites or quits on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


"Connect to a different network

Try to load a website, like www.apple.com, using cellular data. If you don't have cellular data, connect to a different Wi-Fi network and then load the website.

If you're using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), check your VPN settings. If you have a VPN turned on, some apps or websites might block content from loading.

Restart your device

Turn off your device and turn it on again.

Clear website data

You can clear website data occasionally to improve Safari performance.

  1. Go to Settings > Safari.
  2. Tap Clear History and Website Data.
  3. Tap Clear History and Data to confirm.

Turn on JavaScript

Turn on JavaScript if it's not already on.

  1. Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced.
  2. Find the JavaScript feature.
  3. Tap the button to turn on JavaScript."


Thanks!
