West Sussex Apple Mac specialist asks has your Apple Mac, IPhone or IPad been acting as if it were possessed
Well join the club, according to West Sussex Apple Mac specialist Sohail “the problem you have been experiencing was due to an update issue on 26th January and was responsible for introducing a bug that caused Safari to crash when Mac and iPhone / iPad owners attempted to search within the address bar; The issue lasted for several hours”.
According to Apple “only people whose Safari suggestions data storage updated during early AM hours” were affected.
The bizarre bug caused the hugely-popular iOS web browser to CRASH whenever a user tried to enter a new search or URL into the address bar.
Apple say the issue only affected iOS and OS X users whose Safari Suggestions data was updated late on the 26th January, Greenwich Mean Time.
Apple has now rolled out a fix for the glitch, but some users could still be experiencing the infuriating bug.
“Apple now believes it has resolved a bug with its Safari browser on both OS X and iPhone that caused the web browser to crash for users around the world”.
