Hi,

I’ve had a strange problem start recently whereby links in safari randomly don’t work when tapping them. I sometimes have to tap a link 3 times for it to actually follow it. Everything else seems fine though. I’ve tried crashing safari and also rebooting my iPhone X but it’s not made any difference.

My next step would be to reset and restore the phone, but just wanted to check if anyone else had experienced the same problem?

I can’t think it would be a hardware issue as it only seems to be links.

Thanks!
 
I’ve kinda had that happen off and on for over a year now, two different devices.

I’ve now gotten to the point that I actually use 3D Touch on every hyperlink. Kind of fun and more interactive, plus it “takes” every time!

I've had that happen on and off with some iOS 11 updates. It's been better recently with iOS 11.2 and 11.2.1 for me (although I'm not certain it's really tied to those updates or anything like that).
