How do I fix Safari page loading issue on my iPhone 16 Plus?

I have the same issue and then I have to close the app and reopen it. It’s the same sometimes I open a new page and it doesn’t let me click anything or scroll. Then I have to close the tab and reopen. Or if I open up a menu, then it won’t let me click anything dropdown in the menu. I just purchased a new iPhone 16 pro 3 days ago and I’m noticing these issues. With and without screen protector. Maybe a bug hopefully. I’m coming from iPhone 13 but have been experiencing so much lag through the iPhone 16 pro.

Does anyone have any advice?

Try going to Settings > Apps > Safari > 'Clear History and Website Data' and doing so.

Other things to try: If Safari isn't loading websites or quits on your iPhone - Apple Support

Thank you for your suggestion but the issue still persists.

Can you try a different Internet connection? Are you using a VPN?

Same exact issue, same exact phone model. I wish I never upgraded from the 14. The 16 Pro Max is so much more sluggish and laggy.
