Safari and all browsers not opening Java Script Links - Seems like App Issue

I have 3 ipads and 1 iphone... A few days ago all but 1 of the ipads and my iphone started showing the same issues...


In safari or even with chrome on each affected device, Java script links no longer open. It freezes and becomes unresponsive then crashes.

This is the case from google search bar clicking on a link (and it is OK if I load in desktop request mode) and even from emails with links to a website.

Since 3 devices have the issue and 1 doesn't I am assuming it has to do with a bad app or app update (although never had anything like this happen before from an app.) The 9.2.1 software on the devices has been fine up until a few days ago when this happened

However with many apps on the devices I don't know which app or update is causing the issue. I tried to narrow it down without any luck.

I of course tries clearing the saved data soft rebooting and all that but the issue doe snot go away. Even with all apps swiped close it STILL happens. So maybe it is an app that loads something at startup.

Since I am not seeing any other instances of anything like this that also make sme assume it is an app. Does anyone have any suggestions... At the app store does anyone know if there are diagnostic tools to find an app that may be causing an issue?

Thank you!

Mike
