Updated to 13 only a few weeks ago, I get notifications on the home screen for emails and when I was on iOS12, I opened Mail on my iPhone 8 and they were there instantly, or as good as, but now I have to wait for them to appear. Much slower coming in and loading. Used to see them instantly.

Also, Safari is lousy now, Many pages show half a screen and you can't slide it over to see for example the whole Google search page, Won't move, and now many pages I click on from the searches don't load and just show a white empty page. Never had this with 12 either. This now happens a hell of a lot. This OS is in no way an improvement on 12 whatsoever on the 8.

Just wondered if any others have experienced any of this or is iPhone 8 not coping with the latest OS?
 
Thanks for the replies people. Good to know... are you both on an 8 or is it same on all/later models?

Nobody getting blank page forwards from Google searches and cut off search pages.
Is Safari still best browser on iPhones? Clearly not at present for me, any recommends please?
Presume Google app is not brilliant
 
You could try the Chrome browser and see if the problem goes away? I don’t use it, but it’s the most common non-Safari browser being used.

in Safari, may I ask if you have some adblocker installed? If so you could try deactivating it in the Settings app.

Hi, I also get this problem with Safari on IOS 13. Once you do a couple of searches on Google, or even some random websites - it will load blank. I have to quit Safari and then reopen it in order to view the pages properly. Very annoying. And yes I have an iPhone 8 as well.

Thanks, I'll see what it's like. Never used ad blockers on any iPhone no. Only ever Mac...

I have had these mail problems since ios13 beta 1. On an XS Max and an 11 Pro Max.

Thanks, I did wonder

Interesting, thanks, do you also get the half page that you can't slide over, it just locks, and it is usually google search results. Its such a pain when you know that when you were on iOS12, it all ran fine. And these flipping updates make work of it now. Wikipedia loves a blank page since this update

10.5 though?
 
Anything improved on 13.1?
Now the control centre slide up doesn't work properly, or rarely works
