Safari doesn't work after iOS 8.3 update

NNothing has worked for me, I sure hope they come out with a fix soon. It's been going on since new update. Such a big company you'd think they'd be on it.

This is happening to both my iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 after the newest updates

We ran into a similar issue and discovered that Safari becomes limited if you browse with Private on. Probably not a fix for anything you folks are seeing but turning off private and web sites that use LocalStorage; that is the key, start working.

Your suggestion makes absolutely no difference whatsoever. Just another coincidence.

Bummer. Thought it might be a long shot. Will monitor this though regardless to see where it ends up.

This is happening to me on my iPad 2.

At first I thought it was because we got Google Fiber installed, but it worked fine until I thought to myself...oh, let me update the iOS as that pesky little badge is telling me to do.

I updated and then rebooted. I updated all the apps that wanted to be updated and rebooted.

Tried Safari. The page with my favorites/bookmarks etc loaded but tapping on any of them just stalled. And I couldn't minimize the app screen or change by tapping another. All stopped and stalled.

I cleared the cache, or so I thought. Rebooted a few times.

Reset my wi-fi a couple of times. Made sure the iPad was connecting to the new Google-enabled wi-fi. Then changed back to see if it would work with our airport extreme.

Nope.

I wish I could uninstall and reinstall Safari. That would probably work.

Hi Restore to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs Use same Apple ID then you will get your Apps /Data back . Cheers Brian

Well, all of a sudden, late yesterday, Safari began working.

I think it must have been an external issue of some kind or suddenly my iPad and my iPhone both had the ability to connect quickly and easily to Safari.

Maybe the clearing of the caches worked, but it took time...I wish I knew. I hope it doesn't happen again.

Try this way,

1. "Settings" - "iCloud" - "Safari", turned it off.

2. "Settings" - "iCloud" - "iCloud Drive" - "Safari", turned it off.

3. "Safari" - click "bookmarks" icon - click "history" - click "Clear" - "Clear All History"

I felt the new IOS will check the online setting before open a new page, I turned those items off, the browser looks working well.

Make sure you did a backup for the bookmark and all safari's setting.

Genius! This is the first time I've used Safari in weeks. Thank you!

You may have simply proven that the problem is external to the user... something lagging or broken in the Apple cloud.

However, turning these features off means that we no longer get to use these features. I'd rather Apple just fix the issue... like if it takes more than X amount of time to contact the cloud, just ignore the cloud.

I've forwarded Yazoo's fix to the apple support agent who was trying to solve this for me.

Yes, it's workaround to fix the issue.

Because i don't think Apple will release the patch soon. 😝

After a reset I found that turning off these settings fixed the issue for good on my iPad and iPhone:

Settings > safari > turn off search engine suggestions, spotlight suggestions and preload top hit.

I've not had issues with iCloud and Safari.

I did those steps on my iPhone, but it still not work on my device.
