Just in case any of you are experiencing this problem.

 

 

Apple's Safari Browser Crashing Around The World

 

The problem appears to be related to the browser's search suggestions feature, and a temporary fix involves going into the settings menu to turn off Safari suggestions.

Ah, that explains it! Crappy software, didn't hesitate in swapping it out for Chrome on the infected machines!

Daughter has been moaning about this exact problem this morning. Permanent fix- use Chrome

We wondered why two staff iPads came in with the same issue today! Thanks for this.

Same. Just had a flood of students through the door all complaining that the 'Internet is crashing'.

 

Another workaround I've been using, as I can't get at all of our iPads to turn Safari Suggestions off as they are out in lessons, is to go through google search if you have it as a bookmark/homepage on the new tab screen as this doesn't trigger the crash from what I've found.

 

Ofc this only works if you can actually get that far as often times it just straight up crashes when you open it anyway...

 

Cheers for this though; nice to know its not just me...
