An issue with Apple’s Safari web browser that caused it to suddenly crash for many iPhone, iPad and Mac users globally has now been resolved, Apple says.
Safari users had found the service crashing and returning them to their device home screen when they attempted to use the app’s search bar to browse the web, according to widespread complaints on social media.
However, not all users appear to have be affected by the issue – with those who are still having problems being advised to clear their website data from within the settings app to complete the fix.
Safari is Apple’s own-built web browsing app that comes pre-installed on iPhones, iPads and Mac computers.
