Fox News App and Website Freeze MacBook and iPhone

Fox News recently started

freezing after I read

an article. I have to reboot the app every time. I have rebooted the iPhone and reinstalled the app multiple times to no avail. No other app behaves this way. It’s sad to consider removing the app permanently because Fox can’t address the issue. I believe there are many others.

seems To be a common problem with Fox News app. The further down the app scan it begins to run slower and slower especially on iPad. I believe it is all the crap they load between different sections. Only on news app.

I believe it is the app. At least it is for me.

Why does the Fox News app freeze

Try reducing the size of your fonts it worked for me

I had the same problem on IPhone 15 pro max. I did this and so far , problem solved.

Some apps do not support dynamic text. Fox News evidently happens to be one of them. Solution: Go to settings, display and brightness, text size. Tap on text size there will be a slide thing wit a dot that you can move. Slide it to the left to the fourth dot from the left. That cured my problem. My text was too large.

The problem is with the Foxnews mobile app. It continually sticks on my iphone, I have no problem with other apps. I have even had to resort to the CNN app to get news.

You don't tell us which versions of macOS and Safari that you're using.

Please make sure that both are up to date. You don't have to upgrade to the newest OS, just make sure there are no updates waiting for the version you have.

Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support

Since this has been going on for some time now with no apparent fix in sight, when you have trouble using a website with Safari, try opening it with a third party browser.

I suggest you take a look at Firefox browser or Brave browser.

Download an alternative browser and install it into your Applications folder. Launch and use that when you encounter websites that don't play well with Safari.

Reducing font size as suggested fixed the issue on my iPad Pro which is only like 6 months old.

I had the same problem with FoxNews for almost a year - infuriating. But I might have fixed it - or at least, the problem has gone away. Like many users, on FoxNews, my iPad Air (3rd generation) would slow down and eventually become unresponsive. It didn’t seem to matter where I touched the screen - nothing. But then . . .

I believe the problem had to do with the sidebar videos - those miniature videos that are docked down the right margin of the screen. I noticed that when I touched one of those videos, I got a MOMENTARY X at the upper left corner of the screen. I say momentary because it’s only visible for about a second and then it disappears and the screen is still unresponsive. B U T, if you can tap the x before it disappears, the screen becomes responsive. I only did this once and the problem has gone away and hasn’t returned in the last month or two. Was it a coincidence? Lucky timing? I don’t know. I’m happy.

Yeah. I worked with the text thing, too. Didn't work for me. Maybe I did something wrong. Glad it worked for you.

I had to finally delete Fox News app got tired or doing restarts

I was able to fix Fox News freezing by removing the app. Then clearing safari browser history and clearing website data. Then I restored the Fox News app to the Home Screen and it worked fine.

My Fox News app freezes regularly. I've tried each of the suggested generic corrections. N None of them works. Impossible to reach you and being, or two receive any effective support from Fox.

Ideas please

When i go on the Fox News app the screen freezes and will not change
