iOS 9

[Spleen Sauce]

Anyone else having the 9.3 issue of links not working? If I click on a link it crashes safari. Seems to be an issue being raised on the Apple forums

It's a real pain.

Yep started getting this today. Absolutely infuriating. Can't believe this got through quality testing.

Yeah. Strange how it only started this morning but I have had 9.3 on all week. If you click on a link in whatsapp it crashes that as well

Almost seems like it has something to do with daylight savings.

Yep. Started for me with 9.2 though.

Installed 9.2 a few days ago and yesterday started getting the link issue. Updated to 9.3 to see if that would fix it and nope...

It seems to affect both 9.2 and 9.3 randomly.

I'm trying to use another browser, but that doesn't solve opening links in other apps (like mail).

EDIT: Doesn't make sense being a daylight saving issue as Canada's change was two weeks ago. That said my app store account is still registered to the UK (so can access my banking apps), but I'm on auto time zone.

Got a DM from Apple on Twitter, they are aware of the problem and are looking at it, and to 'check for software updates' soon.

Not exactly helpful. I think they should probably make some kind of announcement, it's now affecting everyone I know with an iOS device.

Thought it was the hotels . com app (or something like that)? Uninstall the app?

Sorry it is booking.com

 

[Spleen Sauce]

Sorry it is booking.com

Nope, doesn't make a difference.

Apparently there is a timeout after you uninstall the app. It's all pretty easy to google for.

I'm telling you, I've never used the booking.com app nor had it installed and I still have the problem. But thanks for the suggestion of Googling, very helpful.

Ah ok. I do apologise for trying to point you in the right direction. You sound really nice.

Sorry, my bad, I read it as if you were taking the P

Once a machine has downloaded the update, any way to blank and remove the update after download but prior to install.
Out old ipad2 downloaded it, but didn't install, now they have pulled the update, as it is cricking machines, and also asking for original details.
So it can't actually install.
Can I stop the cycle of attempts and failure to verifies, as it kills the wifi each time it tries now?
Apple taking after MS for QC now.

How to ditch an update after DL but before installation?

Interesting, now 9.3 is being offered again, seems to still be 9.3, is this a different build to before?

It fixes an issue to do with iPhone 5's not being able to update.

And annoyingly I seem to be having a very similar problem with Safari on OSX as well. Getting so many beachballs now I've decided to switch to Chrome for the time being.

I'm sure it's just coincidence but that's two for two with Apple screwing up their safari browsers...

Apple Music seems to have not improved in 9.3, UI still laggy at times and last night after a while of listening ok I started to get a error message when trying to play tracks from AM which said "this music format is not supported"?

Never had that prior 9.3.

 

[Spleen Sauce]

I'm amazed that there's still no update on this issue. Strongly considering moving back to Android, so ironic that I switched to iOS to have a device that 'just works'...

Oh good lord, don't be so melodramatic. Android updates take just as long if not longer, Apple are usually on the ball having been in both ecosystems for years so just be patient.

Melodramatic? You honestly think that a £700 phone that can't browse the internet without crashing and can't open links to websites from any application is acceptable?

Can't say that in the many years of being an Android user before this that I'd had a bug as critical as this that wasn't fixed within a day.
