Recently, when I open Yahoo's home page in Safari on my iPhone, I get the following message: "Increase Storage Size? Do you want to allow 'https://www.yahoo.com' to use up to 1.3 GB of storage on your iPhone?". What is this and why am I now getting this every time?

Hi there TheBakeMcB,
One step you can try is to close the Yahoo tab in Safari on your iPhone, then launch it again to see if that helps stop this. If needed, this article walks through how to do that: Open and close tabs in Safari on iPhone
To confirm, do you only see this message when visiting Yahoo or do you see it when visiting other search engines (or other websites) in Safari? This can help us determine additional next steps for this.
If there is an option to decline and/or remember that choice, does this still appear after selecting those? If those options are available and you haven't done that yet, please try that to see if it will stop that message from appearing every time you try to visit the Yahoo website.
Take care.
Hello TheBakeMcB,
If you're only seeing that when using the Yahoo website, you'll want to reach out to Yahoo support directly to determine what's causing that and if it's expected.
You can reach out to them here: Help for your Yahoo Account
Cheers!
Hi Claire,
Yes, I only receive this message while on Yahoo's home page (see below). I closed the Safari tab, relaunched it and it still appears. I am able to "Don't Allow" and the Yahoo page still loads, so I'm not sure what the point, or risk, is to this. It does reappear every time I refresh the page. Not a big deal, but somewhat annoying.
Thank you.
