Problems with safari

[chele519]

Is anyone having an issue with Safari? I have an Iphone 11 pro max. I just updated hoping that would fix the issue but it doesn't. On multiple websites if I do something where I have to click in a box to enter something, it keeps locking up the page. I can't close it, I have to swipe up to get rid of the page and close and reopen but it still doesn't work. I tried to change some passwords tonight on a few pages. It would not let me click in the boxes to enter new passwords, I ultimately had to do it on my laptop instead. I've rebooted multiple times but it still isn't working right. I've cleared the cache and that didn't do anything either. I know it's rare to get a virus but since it's not letting me reset any passwords, I'm wondering if it was hacked.

Does it do the same thing with other browsers, such as Firefox or Chrome?

I installed Firefox and it doesn’t happen with that, just safari

Have you tried removing/reinstalling Safari?

The fact that it is happening when you enter text seems potentially significant. Perhaps it’s a problem related to a password manager, either the built in one, or a third party one. Maybe try Settings -> Passwords -> Autofill Passwords, to see if something is strange is there, and seeing if the problem continues if it’s disabled.

Similarly, could it be something to do with a third party keyboard? Check Settings -> Keyboards -> Keyboards (at the top of the list) to see if something strange is there.

Safari cannot be uninstalled on iOS.

Yep. I had tested and gotten the "delete Safari" message, but it turns out is was just deleting it from the home screen.
