Q: safari iOS 8.1 freeze and slow

Hello,

i have same problems with ios 8.1 with my Ipad3. when the Google search shows me the results, the blue links does not respond when I  tap. Safari was as if frozen. I have to drag the page up or down so that the link becomes active again. Further the application is very slow. Today I tried iPad Air it was same thing !!!!

 

the problem persists since updating iOS8.0.0. I am very disappointed with Apple.

 

excuse me for my english, I am french.

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 8, safari

    I have to say that I am utterly disappointed with Apple. iOS 7 update pretty much killed my daughter's iPhone 4S and iOS 8 update rendered my iPad  2 pretty much useless. My first Mac was Mac Plus and since then I have been loyal to Apple as their quality has outrun the others but now I am starting to be ready to switch to use something else. ALL the latest iOS updates have been so shoddy that Steve Jobs would have NEVER let release those. I am fully aware that new OS updates contain bugs but NEVER before this bad and so many. I was about to buy new iPhone 6 but decided not to do that as it is likely that Apple will render that too useless with iOS 9 or 10. Shame Apple.

    HHaving the same iSSues here, absolute nightmare. Using an iPad 4 32gb wifi running latest.

     

    another issue I've noticed is auto fill password problems. oh and auto capital not working. I have two eBay accounts, and both logins are saved. However when logging in it will only auto fill one of them and appears to randomly decide which one... Usually the one I dont want to login to. So I end up manually typing my login details each time, annoying.

     

    from MacBook pros to iPads to iphones, I'm Honestly giving up.. It seems like constant problems and issues with these gimmick products. These prodcuts cause me so much stress

    I am really getting frustrated with ios8!!!! I have updated and reinstalled the law test version iOS 8.1 on my iPad and it continues to stall and freeze. I bought my iPad last year so it's not like it's old. This needs to be fixed ASAP!!!

    i fixed it by installing chrome.  I moved to iphone years ago because things like this didn't happen.  With the way safari works now I might as well dig out my windows mobile blackjack, it's speed browsing is comparable.  Ironic how even typing this message on the apple forums works about as well as sprinting through molasses.

    II've installed Chrome too. But if I click a link in an email etc, is there any way to get it to open automatically in Chrome instead of Safari? And how can I get my many bookmarks from Safari to Chrome?

    You'd have to jailbreak your device and install open in chrome.  I've never considered jailbreaking my own iPhone until now.  If the native software worked, there wouldn't be a need to, however now we are seeing a need to rely on developers outside of Apple's walled garden since they aren't capable of solving these issues on their own anymore.  Perhaps this was inevitable considering that opensource has the entire world developing software and companies like Apple and Microsoft are limited to their staff (albiet normally capable Apple staff).

    Thanks John, guess I'll have to live with it for now then, as I wouldn't want to risk the jail-breaking route.

    Same issues here with 8.1 and not just safari. We have a iPhone 6+, and ipad 3, and iPad air 1 and all have iOS 8.1 and Safari is very laggy on each sometimes and after I put it on my wife's ipad air I noticed she had problems with apps freezing which never saw in ios 7. Not sure what's going on with Apple these days with iOS software, thought they were better then this.

    IN Safari Settings, turning off Spotlight Suggestions and qquick website search seems to have helped with search & page loading. but not typing in this form, still losing characters.

    I experienced generally degraded performance in my Safari on iOS 8.1 and iPad Air 3. Same things you're mentioning--links not working, entry fields not working, slow or non responsive scrolling. Just erratic behavior of the app. What's worked for me is turning off iCloud syncing on Safari on my iPad and my desktop. This has returned performance to what it was before the update. I'll report any changes or updates.

    II was having similar issues with iOS 8.1 on my iPad Air 2 with regular stalong when using tabs and tabs not refreshing.  I turned of iCloud backup and the problem vaporized and has not recurred since. In my case I had been getting backup full error messages from iCloud which prompted me to turn it off but it also ended fixing Safari.

    Having the same problems --- Safari on iOS 8.1 is extremely flaky. I am a programmer so I have investigated this --- Javascript AJAX calls on sites are returning very erratically --- sometimes fast, sometimes with a huge delay. Websites which work fine on a desktop browser are slow or inconsistent on Safari in iOS 8.1... an Ajax call can return immediately or take 3-6 seconds. This results in overall web performance which is quite inconsistent and nearly unusable for complex applications.

     

    The problem is not restricted to Safari. I see the same problem in Chrome and Mercury. It appears to be either a problem in WebKit itself, or maybe a problem with the networking layer.

     

    Apple! Please take a look into this!!
