iOS 8 Safari Problem

I'm using iPad mini 16 GB Wi-Fi model. So far I found 3 problem in Safari of iOS 8.

Using Safari can't upload image from Photos app to image hosting. I'm also found a thread someone who also complain cannot upload his image to Facebook. So I suspect everything that including upload image is got same problem.

Copy image have different behaviour. OK... this is bit hard to describe so I will just giving example.

Here is image with no URL hyperlink so you just can't open this on new tab. The only option is save image or copy :

Here is image with hyperlink, you can open in new tab and also copy link.

I know iOS 7 Safari had limitation but at least not so crippled in iOS 8. In iOS 7 I could copy then place it on address bar, paste it to get the URL http://blabla.eww/filename.jpg. Now in iOS 8 I'm hoping the image have URL hyperlink, but sadly most isn't. Of course I could save it then upload to image hosting. Then back again to first problem, can't upload image from Safari, cheers. I hope Apple add copy image address, same with Safari desktop. Even if they can't bring back some behaviour of iOS 7. I really need this copy image address thing.

There is also some rare case Safari hung up in typing area of forum/image board when I'm trying to copy paste and delete a word. While I say rare this actually happen 3 times and I haven't using iOS 8 more than 72 hours.

I haven't try other browser. If someone knew other browser working fine in iOS 8, let me know.

I have the same problem on my iPhone. In my case it seems to be related to have multiple from: addresses that I can chose from; if I take my finger off the menu too quickly, the entire mail dialog disappears. Do you have multiple mail accounys that you can send from as well?

Not sure I have the guts/time to go the whole downgrade thing on three iPads and an iPhone 4s. Tried the Puffin browser though and it worked fine on my phone so maybe that's an OK workaround for now. Apple head enthusiasts at work also suggested using the Facebook app rather than browser. Not tried that yet. There was also a guess that it's a change to the encryption in iOS8 that's done it. Anyone from Apple monitoring this thread?

I took one of the respondent's advice and downloaded the Puffin browser. I am able to upload from there now. And it seems to be a faster browser.

Ok Apple I thought I was alone on this with slow bandwidth but no I can not upload from Safari also! What's the fix other than going back to IOS7 ? So far all we hear from apple is "sounds if crickets" please admit a problem and start working on the fix.

Tested the 8.0.2 update. Seems to fix the Safari browser upload problem. Big up to the forum! I think it's all down to us that the Apple got their act into gear. We can all be very proud 😁

Still it would be nice to hear from them. Hope everyone elses issues get fixed too. Bye for now.

THis is just ridiculous. I have had more problems with Safari from this rollout than any other iOS update. I will never download a new iOS version without waiting at least 3 months to see what problems other people have encountere.

My Safari frustrations so far:

1. Sometimes a webpage loads and links cannot be clicked on. I'd tap on the link 20 times and no response. I have to keep hitting reload until the browser decides to make the links clickable. THis is especially apparent in Google search results, which I use often, so my blood pressure has pretty much doubled since installing iOS 8.

2. Copy command doesn't work consistently. IMagine writing a post on Facebook, changing your mind about the link you want to share, using the copy comman and pasting what you thought was your Facebook message and getting the email you sent to your friend yesterday. Grrrrr....

3. Auto-suggest is great but when I tap on a word sometimes the last letter of the word doesn't show up. Such as when I tapped the suggestion "Electoral". The last "l" was missing on the page. Also, when you tap on the shift button to capitalize the first letter of a word the first AND second letters sometimes become capitalized.

IT is outrageous that Apple has released an update of this shoddy a quality! iOS 7 never had these issues. Who runs your QA team? Monkeys? By the way, all typos and mispellings courtesy of iOS 8's auto-suggest and faulty shift key.
