Q: Google links don't work after iOS 9.3

This is not a 9.3 issue.

Same problem on 9.2.1.

Ive been a loyal Apple customer for years but now Im loosing my faith on Apple... Problems and bugs keeps on coming.

I cant use Safari now at all. 3D touch dosnt work on links...No luck after rebooting several times

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

Having the same issue in Safari and Chrome on my iPhone 5 since recently. Don't know for sure whether its iOS 9.3: I installed it on Tuesday and only noticed yesterday evening, so probably the problem came sometime after I updated-- Can't click any links in Google, although some other links outside Google sometimes work, just like holding down/open in new tab sometimes works. This is very inconvenient, hoping for a fix soon. Currently can't even restore the software because it was pulled for iPhone 5.

Having the same issue with links not working in Mail iApp as well. The most egregious issue is links not working in Google. Won't be early adopting iOS updates ever again. Apple this is real. Fix it.

Thanks for sharing this. I am having link problems in safari too. Didn have it immediately after upgrading to 9.3. Initially it was fine, but then after 6/8 hours, the problem started. My hubby too has the same phone-Iphn6, but his safari is working fine. I guess the problem is not universal. For the time being I have downloaded the google search App.

Got the problem at the same time as everyone else, however....

- Am on a 5S

- Did NOT download/install any updates

- Affects Chrome and Safari, plus email links

So how did Apple manage to affect my phone without me installing any updates.....

I am on iPhone 5.

I upgraded to 9.2.1 a couple weeks ago but the problem only started yesterday. Weird.

Which version of IOS are you running?

Apple choose to nag and nag and nag you to update every time you unlock the phone. And this is what we experience for updating. I too am losing faith in Apple products. This is unacceptable...

Turning javascript off does not help me. Safari in my iPad mini 4 is not working with ios 9.3 upgrade. Google Chrome does not work, too. As SSARMA said, I didn't see this problem when I initially updated to ios 9.3 on my iPad mini 4. But, it started a day after installation. And it seems that iOS 9.2.1 also has this problem as others commented. Anyway this is horrible and not acceptable.

i have the exact same issue. Frustrating!

My business depends on me having working email and internet on my iPhone all the time so I needed to find a solution.

Here is a temporary (or permanent up to you) workaround which seems to give a 99.9% solution:

Download e-mail client: Google Inbox (NOT GMAIL client)

Download browser client: Google Chrome

All links seem to work using the above solution.

A small number of links in Chrome require opening in a new tab.

Please indicate if this helped you.

9.2.1 - been on that since shortly after it came out.

Started happening yesterday morning 26th March.  It was definitely ok on 25th March.

No changes/updates my end, other than whatever apps may have auto-updated themselves.

So Apple must have secretly/silently changed something/somewhere.  Unless there was a date/time based bug just waiting to happen......

Apple seem very tight-lipped on this issue!

Interesting, also started yesterday morning with me...

If you really need a solution until repaired by Apple, then maybe try my proposed workaround mentioned above using google apps.

It really is odd...  ALL my browsers - Chrome, Safari and Mercury were broken.  The only way I could initially click on a link was using the separate "Google" app to search.

• Turning off Javascript in settings/Safari allows Safari to work, but that setting doesn't help the others.
• Mercury is "fixed" by choosing a different user-agent string.  Bizarrely choosing Chrome as the user-agent lets it work....
• Chrome just seems broken by whatever it is.
