Fix Safari  crashing iPhones

iPhone users across the globe have reported a major issue with the Safari web browser.

It appears every time a new tab is opened and a search performed it crashes and refuses to reopen.

Twitter is full of users asking how to fix the infuriating problem which sends Safari users back to the iOS Home Screen.

Apple has yet to acknowledge the problem and it's currently unclear what's causing the issue but luckily it appears there is a temporary fix.

One way to stop the crash is to launch a Private window in Safari – to do this, launch the iOS app, then tap the Tab icon in the bottom right-hand corner.

After your browser windows fans out, the word Private appears in the bottom left-hand corner. Tap this to launch Private browsing.

Another option is to disable Safari suggestions – the websites and search queries the browser pre-emptively guesses as you type.

To do this, open Settings > Safari > then toggle Safari Suggestions Off.

Since the glitch appears to affect multiple versions of iOS, with issues reported in iOS 9.2.1 and iOS 9.2, some have suggested the problems may be server-side.

One Reddit users posted: "iPhone 6 Plus running 9.2.1 safari crashes whenever I try to type in the address field. my bookmarks still work, I just can't type. Chrome works fine."

"Same here. All my devices running iOS 9.2.1. An iPad I have running 9.3 beta is too," another added.

One Apple users wrote on the forum: "As soon as I tap the address bar Safari crashes unless I'm in Private Browsing mode."
