Q: Major bug with ios 9.3 update hanging and crashing in safari mail messages where do I report
I can not use the browser to connect to any link after
a search in Safari or when I press a link in safari, mail or messages it freezes.
or crashes. Basically all of the functionality of the ipad itself for business or
searching is rendered useless with this update. What is the fix here?
I need my iPad air for business.
This is whats happening:
Readers are reporting a strange bug with iOS 9.3 (and older versions apparently, exact characteristics of affected devices is unclear), primarily affecting the latest Apple devices, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. The issue has also been reported on older phones and some iPad models as well. The cause is unknown, but many users are finding themselves unable to open links in Safari, Messages, Mail, Notes and other apps. Instead of visiting the target website, the app crashes, freezes or hangs. Hundreds of reports have already been posted about the iOS 9.3 problem on the Apple Support forums.
Other users are reporting that tapping on links simply does nothing, whereas a tap-and-hold causes a crash. A permanent fix for the issue is not known and Apple has yet to comment on what may be going on. Some people have reported that disabling JavaScript partially solves the issue for opening links in Safari, but remains for other apps.
