How to stop Error 403 Forbidden on iPhone 8 Plus

GB News. when I click on the articles I get the message.

Thanks for being specific. That is indeed different, as that site doesn’t seem to have user sign-ins.

That being said, the error message is a response from the site itself, to your phone’s request to fetch a webpage.

I used to be able to see the articles but now I can’t.

I can’t replicate your issue, and the site shows me each page I choose without server errors.

That’s why I’m wondering if I have touched something on my iPhone that’s caused it.

If it is not a problem with the website itself, then it might be targeted from your IP address or other identifiers, e.g. browser cookies. Possibly something stored about the website is conflicting. A reset of the browser may result in better behavior.

Blocking cookies may break some sites, as they often rely on it. Did you set to blocking because of anything I said? I didn’t mean to suggest that.

As a test, have you tried to view using a different browser? [1] [2].

That is a message from the web server. It likely has nothing to do with your iPhone per se.

It may mean that your URL requires authentication that is not in place. Maybe you are not signed in to the site, or different privileges on the site account are needed.

At this time, I would advise to contact that site’s support, if you can open the Contact Us page there.

Would I be able to send you a screenshot of the messages I am getting to your email?

No, our hosts here want all forum communication to stay on the site itself.

I wouldn’t know what to do with a screenshot. I believe your description.
