Curious what is your "quick fix"/work around for this issue that basically breaks a main functionality of arguably the 2(mail, safari) most used apps in iOS?
The solution will be Apple releasing a fix for this (hopefully sometime soon).
Join the public beta testing program. If you have the beta profile still installed when the public final is pushed to everyone the feedback app stays.
We have 9 devices in my immediate family and at work, I'm around several dozens other devices and none have this.
Those devices have a extremely wide range of model and dates bought.
This tells me that this is not a very widespread issue (or I should start buying tickets).
Go back to 9.2.1, that's what I said to people last week. There, that should fix it.
How painless that is depends on your state of mind more than anything else; for me it's painless.
You're not forced to upgrade you know.
Next time, people that absolutely can't stand any disruption may wait a few days before upgrading; that would be the prudent thing to do for those people.
As many posts in this thread have said, this problem dates back at least to 9.2.1, if not older versions of iOS.
There is so much wrong with this post I don't even know where to begin. But I will say this...until you take the time to develop even a cursory understanding of the issue, you should probably refrain from making arrogant and inaccurate comments like this.
Funny how I heard just about no one mention it then around here and I'm here every day.
You do know 9.2.1 was out quite a long time.
I'd bet 99% of mentions of this problem existing in 9.2.1 occured after 9.3 was released.
So you're telling me this bug had the SAME amplitude yet Apple didn't do anything before; seems very doubtful.
So, that would mean that in fact, for most people (if not all of them), IOS 9.2.1 would be the solution.
They should try it if they find this intolerable and only then, if it doesn't work, complain that there is no solution.
And if you are one of those few having this issue in 9.2.1, when did it occur?
If it is THAT bothersome, then I'm sure that whenever it occurred,
anyone would have been compelled to roll back to the previous version...
Or are you merely creating a scenario here?
So, I'm going to say the exact same thing, roll back and see if this fixes things, then and only then complain.
All the over the top preening for every single issue is getting just too much.

Got decades of hardware, systems and software engineering behind me and seen "outrage" like yours against "the man" (sic) a countless times, so spare me the cliff notes.

I have no problems on my iPad mini2 running iOS9.3 but do have the issue on my iPhone 5s running iOS9.3 since launch day but the problem occured since Sunday 27th of March. Rolling back doesn't resolve it. There are also users that went back to 9.2.1 and still have this problem or ar still on iOS9.2.1 and never had 9.3. installed. The problem is somewhere else and we need to wait on Apple for the fix. I hope it will be fixed this week because this isn't workable for a lot of things. Especiall sites with 'allow cookie' messages can't be removed except for going via Safari > search via Bing to website and then press 'allow cookies'.
Right there with you. I’m never affected by any of these issues. I’m not sure how people get all these problems. For example the Slide to Upgrade bug with iOS 9. I had the iPhone 6 at the time, no issues. When tons of users with the same iPhone had the issue. I don’t understand it lol.
Really, are you getting offended on their behalf? , I'm sure they are big enough to deal with the hurt.
so when is there an update for this mess? i can't use certain things with e-mail links with no way to use links i need via e-mail
this is embarrassing from apple's point of view

So is it the booking app that is causing these issues? I don't have any issues and I don't have the booing app installed. However this seems to be effecting a lot of people, are there really that many people who have the booking app installed??
It's 9.3 not booking app
Why would an app cause these issues when clicking links in safari and email? It doesn't

Apple should definitely release an update this week to have this resolve. This is getting embarrassing. Still odd that my iPad mini2 is not affected and my iPhone is (both run iOS9.3). My wife her iPhone 5s is also not (yet) affected by it. The problem on my occured days after I upgraded to iOS9.3 on my iPhone.

Yes it's very odd. My iPhone 6S plus, iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 have not been effected yet. It must be something in iOS 9.3. One app can't account for the number of people effected by this bug.
It's iOS but not 9.3 specifically as earlier versions of iOS 9 are affected as well. The bug is there in iOS and can just get triggered by an app doing something that it typically shouldn't do, but isn't prevented from doing.
