Has anyone else's safari on iOS, I think specifically on iPadOS, been locking up and dragging lately? (sh.itjust.works)

EDIT: Coincidentally, I turned off prevent cross-site tracking, because I got sick of raindrop.io signing me out constantly. However, that seemed, I think, to have solved this issue. The only other thing I changed was to turn on the compact tabs view, but I don’t see how that possibly could have had any effect on this whatsoever. So I think maybe the cross-site tracking prevention thing is broken, or something along those lines

No iPad experience, but Safari on iPhone is working without any noticeable issues.

Have you tried clearing history and website data in Settings>Apps>Safari along with closing all tabs? It’s a button down near the bottom.

Another thing that causes slow down is lack of storage space. Is the iPad close to full?

I realize these are basic suggestions but sometimes it’s the simplest things that can be the issue.

    Yeah, it’s definitely just on my iPad Pro. iPhone 16 pro safari has been fine. And yes, I have done all the things you suggested, to no avail ☹️.

    EDIT: just double-checked to be certain. I have 342GB available.

    You’ve covered the basics. Sorry you’re still having issues. Another thing to check is if your using iCloud private relay. That can get funny at times.

    Good luck!

    For me also, only iPad, not iPhone 15 pro.

    • Relative new M1 iPad Air
    • Some screen damage but no visible impact on video
    • only 1/3 storage used
    • solid networking
    • private relay
    • <12 tabs

    Admittedly it’s been a while since I rebooted, or restarted Safari

    Symptoms

    • Lemmy UI glitchy, occasionally an empty template with no content. Sometimes links to a previous story instead of the expected ones
    • occasional Lemmy screen freezes
    • YouTube crashes, sometimes video cuts out and continues with audio only.

    These are my most frequently used sites on this iPad, so I don’t know if they’re really connected or just the odds make them look that way
