iPad Air Anyone having issues with Safari freezing up on iPad?

[ssledoux]

Air 5th gen, updated to current software. My Safari is freezing almost every time I try to use it, and definitely if I try to add a second window.

Anyone else experiencing anything like this? I've restarted it a couple times - still doing it. My Mac is working just fine, as is my phone, so I know it's not my internet.

Thoughts?

i am having the same issue With my M1 12.9” iPad Pro. Running the latest iOS. I do clear the Safari cache almost daily.

My wife has exact same problem after latest update, same model. Restart/clear cache doesn’t help more than a couple minutes. Although using a diff browser (Edge) works ok. Given IOS browsers all use same engine under the hood maybe a Safari bug introduced in last IOS update.

Yep - cleared the cache this morning, worked for a couple minutes, then froze. So frustrating.

Found this on Apple discussions, appears to be an issue with any external keyboard connected to the iPad + latest iPadOS: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255434083?sortBy=best

I don't think I have tried using my combo touch Logitech keyboard (have it detached) since upgrading to 17.3, will give it a stab when getting home to my 11" pro M1 to see if I get the same issue.

M1 12.9 in MKB case with 17.3 - no issues.

well I do have my Magic Keyboard attached - I'll have to read that thread

No issues here. No external keyboard though and I only have one Safari window open. I use tab groups instead of multiple windows.

it is definitely an odd one. I've got the exact same iPad setup as my wife, Air + Magic Keyboard and mine doesn't seem to have any issues. Albeit I only use mine every few days & she uses her several hours daily. I'll have to poke around some more and see if there's any setting or software difference between our iPads.

I am having issues with Safari freezing/non responsive with M1 12.9 iPad on iOS beta 17.4 using Magic Keyboard. Also - am having issues with a the Magic Keyboard touchpad not working on certain links. Hopefully both bugs and they fix on next update. For example, when I try to post my reply using the Magic Keyboard touchpad, it does not work. Odd.

Latest iOS 17.4 resolved issue on wife’s iPad which has been paperweight since 17.3.1 - hopefully later updates won’t reintroduce issue

Mine was freezing too, found fix for me was having to click on the Aa on address bar and turning off content blockers
