Safari interfers with chrome search on iphone

tuffythefirst,

Does this happen if you browse Safari without the app? How about the App Store? If other apps are not experiencing the same thing, it could be that Safari or the app you just downloaded do not have cellular data access. Your iPhone will use cellular data for browsing when you are not connected to Wi-Fi. The guidance below can help and is from View or change cellular data settings on iPhone - Apple Support.

"Choose cellular data options for data usage, performance, battery life, and more

To turn Cellular Data on or off, go to Settings > Cellular.

To set options when Cellular Data is on, go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options, then do any of the following:

• Reduce cellular usage: Turn on Low Data Mode, or tap Data Mode, then choose Low Data Mode. This mode pauses automatic updates and background tasks when iPhone isn’t connected to Wi-Fi.
• Turn Data Roaming on or off: Data Roaming permits internet access over a cellular data network when you’re in a region not covered by your carrier’s network. When you’re traveling, you can turn off Data Roaming to avoid roaming charges."

All the best.
