Safari breaks and refreshes the webpage when I zoom in on iPhone
This topic has been mentioned very often and is never properly answered by Apple (if they answer here at all).
When you zoom on webpages that are content heavy like Reddit, for others Twitter or Facebook, the webpage is breaking and Safari is reloading the site.
This results in the loss of the current position in the feed you were watching. Plus it is refreshed with new data, so you won’t find the post anymore you were looking at.
Hence it must be a bug in Safari which can’t handle zooming on content heavy sites.
I can only recommend to test this with the new Reddit web app design which breaks consistently. Best to scroll a while to load more content into the DOM.
And instead of recommending to restart the iPhone give us the link to post bugs for the Safari browser.
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17
