Google links don't work after iOS 9.3

I have same problem!!! Please solve it immediately, it already brought me so much troubles!!!

I'm using a different browser for now till the problem beenig fixed and it's working fine. It call DOWNLOADS.

go to. SETTINGS , INDENTIFY BROWSER AS and choose FIREFOX.

Yup. I got the same problem. It's incredibly irritating. I work a lot off of my phone, but I currently only have a very expensive brick that I charge up at night. Hope apple steps on the gas and gets this issue resolved.

Why didn't Apple warn peopl? I only just downloaded this update and now I can't use the phone! Thankfully I didn't downlold it to my ipad. No wonder Appple is in trouble. Need to get your act together

It's not just devices that have been updated to 9.3!

I also have an ipad I had not updated (still on 9.2.x) and the problem started on that first and THEN my updated one followed suit!!

Strangely enough advertising links (ie preceded by an A) work perfectly in Safari on google.com but ALL other links freeze the app!

Links work perfectly on Amazon websites!!

Chrome still seems to work as long as you hold the link & "open in new tab"

I amhaving same issue, i disabled java script and it is better but mail is not ok. Apple should be ashamed of realsi g this version and now that it knows should not make it available anymore.

I have the same problem on my iPhone 6 and iPad Air after the upgrade to 9.3. I also recon that the browser is freezing. Also Javascript links aren't working on many websites. This is a huge bug, sorry... nothing else. Links stored in Notes aren't working too.

Hi,

I have the same problem here in my office.
All the iPhones here are updated and have now problems with the hyperlinks in safari.

Apple we need a new update that fix this issue.

T next morning after upgrading to IOS 9.3 I tried to open links on google via Safari and my iPad Air froze. It just sat there looking at me. This is the first time that I have had a problem with an update. Yes disabling script worked but with obvious implications of not being able to open up pictures, a bit frustrating when shopping for a new gas bbq. Also I have found that my battery life has has somewhat diminished.

i Have found that downloading the Google app and using this directly instead of going through Safari works fine without having to disable java script.

When will apple stop enjoying easter and fix our kit. My iphone 6 is useless despite a second download of 9.3 and a full rebuild. Why pay £600 when a £150 Google device is currently better. I'm usually a massive apple fan but this is just not good enough.

Ok guys, I have an iphone 6 and updated it to the latest version a few days ago. Since then I am experiencing similar issues.

When I turn the wifi off, I am able to access any Safari hyperlinks by doing the following:

Settings --> Safari --> Open Links --> and i selected "In Background".

However, the phone still freezes when I am trying to open a hyperlink from my mails and from any other applications.

When I turn the wifi on, it freezes Safari even with the above change. Then, tried to turn off JavaScript (and in combination with the above setting), Safari hyperlinks work. Still the phone freezes when clicking on hyperlinks in any other apps.

Hope this helps.
I'll get back to you if I find any other solutions (but hopefully, we will receive a software update soon!) 🙂

I was having the same problem, I turned off Java scrit and it fixed the problem!!!

Thank you!!

Turn of java script is not the fixed it is a small solution.

After that change the links in mails and notes are broken and will not working so APPLE come with a update to FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well said. I am so angry about this issue I reallly think I will be ditching Apple and changing to Samsung. Apple you are a shower of unprofessional idiots to think focussing on marketing and media rather than customer service is more important to your business. 😠

This is not a 9.3 issue.

Same problem on 9.2.1.
