Have you done a restart since the update?


Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up the app window until it flies off the screen.


Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Just want to remind everyone that Apple does not read this forum, nor do they participate at all (apart from TOS monitors), so asking them to "fix it!" here is a waste of time. You'll either need to take the advice of the others who've successfully fixed theis individually, or provide feedback to Apple directly using the http://apple.com/feedback link.

A TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO THE iOS 9.3 EMAIL AND SEARCH LINK ISSUES:


MAIL ISSUES

  1. IF you use Gmail exclusively, download the Gmail app and access you mail through it. Links work.
  2. IF you dont use Gmail, set up a Gmail account, then route your other mail through it as explained here: http://www.radiantd.com/how-to-route-domain-email-through-gmail/. Then download the Gmail app and access email and links through it.

SEARCH/SAFARI ISSUES

DOwnload the Google Search app, do your searching through this portal. Links work.

NEither of these is perfect but it gets around the current paralysis. Issues:

  • There are no Search Tools in the Google search app, so you cannot filter by date, etc.
  • I haven't figured out how to access recently deleted trash in the Gmail app


I hope this helps some of you to survive this mess.
