Safari Keeps Crashing on iPhone

This morning I noticed that when I open the Safari Browser on my iPhone and try to perform a search the browser just crashes. I tried to search other things and it was fine. When I started my search with the word "old", it crashed and I had to re-open the browser.

Has anyone else experienced the Safari Browser crashing when searching for specific words?

Safari crashes consistently after 18.1.1 update on iPhone 15 Plus I have cleared cache, deleted history data, and tried a bunch of online suggestions but no success. It crashes CONSISTENTLY after running for about 3 minutes, making me think it is some type of timing glitch whereby a command activates right at the same time after Safari is opened EACH TIME. I'm using a 15Plus iPhone. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Safari freezes on some web pages on iPhone 13 Pro iOS 17 Since upgrading to iOS 17 some web pages are freezing in Safari. If I turn off JavaScript and reload the page it works fine. Obviously I would like JavaScript to be enabled so this is not a long term solution. For now I have switched to Chrome which handles the pages with JavaScript just fine. Must be a Safari/iOS bug not handling JS correctly. Any one else with similar problem?

iOS 17 and Safari, Safari url/search bar stops working Using Safari on iOS has become increasingly frustrating lately. Sometimes when using Safari on iOS, the search bar at the bottom stops working, I can type a search or a URL but when I hit enter, nothing happens. I can choose bookmarks, or previous sites or recommended sites from the new tab window and nothing will happen, the previous page loaded remains where it is. I have to either force close safari or restart the device to get things working. Am I the only person this is happening to? Is there an explanation for this that I am missing? Im running 17.0.2 on a 14 Pro 128GB

According to Bizarre iPhone and iPad bug causes Safari to crash when you type certain letters, it's not just you.
