Connect the iPhone to iTunes and run a sync - be careful to read and cancel any sync if iTunes warns you that the sync may erase any data or content.Run a manual iTunes backup if you do that as well. Run a manual iCloud backup and make sure it finishes. Verify your personal backup situation.I haven't seen a device with issues, but if I did I would do two things to help narrow down the possibilities: There's a lot of evidence that Safari is in fact having a lot of trouble for some people. The former link is shorter and more to the point.īoth require the device to be put in AirPlane mode and connected to a computer to resolve the data corruption caused by some apps and iOS not handling the app configurations in a robust manner. The latter is a bit longer and more humorous and has some nice photos to look at while you do the prescribed dance. If you want to try to fix this before Apple patches the bug, here are some steps to try: Update to iOS 9.3.1 or later to fix this specific issue. Is there a way to list these apps that change link handling so I can selectively uninstall them? My conclusion is that this bug relates to iOS 9.2 and third party app updates triggering bad behavior, I saw constant crashes of the swdc process in my iPhone logs and I reported a bug with Apple. Tried Chrome, and it doesn't work there on simple taps, but tap and hold works, and I can open them in a new tab at least.delete website data from Safari (in preferences app).I tried things to rule out a simple setting error: It happens mostly on Google and DuckDuckGo result pages.Tap & hold and then selecting copy link, switch to Safari or Chrome and paste URL sometimes helps/works. All apps that can open links, such as Mail or Spark, are affected.

This makes me think third party registration of URL handlers (or what they are called) is related to the bug.

Looking at the html source for the links causing issues, it seems all scheme absolute links are affected (e.g.

The common issue is pauses when tapping links and even Mobile Safari tap and hold (to get the app open a link in a new tab), the device freezes and eventually crashes. Worse, other apps like Messages, Chrome are having issues when they try to open URL/Links. tapping on a link on a page does not do anything.

My Safari on iOS 9.2.1 (update: and now 9.3) won’t open most links anymore, i.e. Update: Apple has confirmed the bug and is working on a fix for a 9.3.1 release.
