Have you encountered a browser freezing issue Safari On your iPhone unexpectedly when searching for something and entering the URL in the address bar? Don't worry because you are not alone, some users have encountered this bug and this issue was brought up on the Apple support forum. It is strange that this problem appeared more than a year ago, and some people still suffer from it to this day. Although we don't know exactly why this happens, some have come up with a simple solution to that problem.
what happens?
Among the complaints is that the iOS Safari browser will freeze when you only type “sa” in the address bar. It can write letters before the two “sa” letters, but once you delete these extra characters, Safari will crash immediately. You don't necessarily have to face the same problem on iPhone now, but some users.
This was not the only reported problem, as another confirmed that it encountered a similar problem when entering a word beginning with the letter "p" or "s".
Ironically, one of the complaints indicated that it is the Safari app that crashes frequently on a Samsung phone.
This issue is not limited to one iPhone model or one iOS version. This unexpected crash happened to those who own an iPhone X, iPhone XS, and iPhone 8, and it also happened in iOS 13 as well as iOS 14.
One of the users even mentioned that he was suffering from this problem on all three previous iPhones. Although this bug is not widely reported, so it appears to have been around for a while.
The cause of this problem is unknown, but it may have something to do with how Safari is stored on iPhone and web browsing data is retrieved. Since it occurs when users enter text in the address bar, it is possible that Safari will try to retrieve the URL of a previously visited website or a saved search term. Users start typing a few letters, and Safari at the same time tries to retrieve the data previously stored for these words, then something goes wrong.
How to fix Safari crashes or hangs error
Because we don't know exactly what's happening, there is no clear solution. Some users have discovered that Safari has stopped crashing after they cleared their browser history. It will only take a few seconds to clear your history or depending on how often you use the browser, and to do so:
◉ Open Settings> Safari.
◉ Scroll down and click on "Clear History and Website Data".

Hi
But does clearing history and website data in Safari affect previously opened pages??
Why can't I "clear the history and site data telling me that there are restrictions, what are these restrictions?"
I hope you will answer me
Hi
thanks for the information
I always clear the history of websites, and it seems to be the reason why Safaray never crashes
Many times I am facing a freeze on my mobile and my sync phone app ..
As for Safari, the best alternative is Chrome or Opera.
There is an older problem that I have been suffering from for XNUMX years or more and on several devices ... After clearing the data history and site history of the Safari browser and opening the browser immediately after that, the application crashes after several seconds and closes itself !!!
May Allah reward you so much
Beautiful and viable solution
I have never encountered it, but since the beginning I am using the private mode and the browser opens directly to it and it makes Safari not remember anything.
I use Safari a lot and when I encounter any problem I delete browsing history, but I have a problem that I hope you will answer it: When I delete Safari history it deletes even the ones on iCloud I want to delete it, but at the same time it is stored on iCloud
You need to stop syncing first and clear your browsing history, then restart it.
God bless you
