Safari scrolls to the top when I go back a page Safari always returns to the top of the page when I go back on the Google search. I noticed that this always happens especially with the Google search engine. This phenomenon did not occur when I used another search engine in the list of engines in <settings, safari, search engine>. Even when using the Google Chrome app, on one occasion this phenomenon even occurred. So I suspect that the problem comes more from Google than Safari? I have been an iPhone user for a long time and this problem appeared to me since iOS 15. Should this problem be fixed with iOS 17?

Solution: Safari very slow to open page via hyperlink iPhone 16 Pro. Since new, and across all iOS 18 updates Safari has been painfully slow, 15-20 seconds, opening a web page via a hyperlink. Changing the default browser to DuckDuckGo, Opera or chrome eliminated this issue so I knew it was a Safari issue. I finally found the Safari setting that is causing the issue. Under the Advanced settings, Privacy, turning off the Advanced Tracking and Fingerprinting Protection eliminated the concern. But what does this setting do? See attached screenshots. I hope that by disabling this feature I am not opening myself to site tracking. Any feedback would be appreciated. I hope this helps others.

Why does Safari refresh the webpage when I zoom in on iPhone? I am having an issue where the webpage that I am viewing constantly refreshes when I pinch to zoom in. This happens on sites such as Instagram and Twitter, where I try to zoom in to view images and it reloads the page or crashes the webpage and shows an error message. is there any way to stop this happening, or is this a feature of the design on the Safari browser on iPhone?

Hi ArtGRX,

Just to confirm, does this only happen when using Safari, or does it happen at other times as well? That information will help us plan how to proceed.

If the issue is that your screen is too sensitive, please check out this link, which has some suggestions that may help with that issue: If the screen isn't working on your iPhone or iPad

If your screen is too sensitive or responds intermittently to touch

1. Restart your iPhone or iPad.

2. Make sure that your screen is clean and free of any debris or water.

3. Disconnect any Lightning or USB-C accessories. If your screen works after removing an accessory, try using a different outlet, cable, or charger.

4. Remove any cases or screen protectors.

Thanks!
