Michal Marek Newest version of the iOS operating system with the designation 9.3 brings with it a number of problems. Owners of older models of iPhones and iPads encountered the problem already when updating to this version, where they often had a problem activating their devices when installing without connecting to iTunes. Apple resolved this issue by pulling the update for these devices and then re-releasing it in a fixed version.
But now an even more serious problem has appeared, which causes even the latest products to be unable to open Internet links. The cause of the problem is currently unknown. However, Apple has already announced that it is working on a fix.
The error manifests itself in the way that on iOS 9.3 (and exceptionally also on older versions of iOS) it is not possible to open links in Safari, in Messages, in Mail, in Notes or in some third-party applications, including Chrome or WhatsApp. When the user clicks on the link, instead of the page they are looking for, they only encounter the application crashing or freezing.
Some users also report that clicking on the link does nothing, and holding your finger on the link causes the application to crash and other problems with its subsequent operation. This is also shown in the video attached below. Hundreds of problems of this type have already been reported on Apple's official support forum.

It is not yet known how to successfully fix the problem and it is waiting for Apple. However, the problem seems to be in the incorrect handling of the API for so-called universal links. Specifically, they are talking about, among other things, the Booking.com application, which is used to search for and book accommodation through the portal of the same name.
Server editors 9to5Mac they conducted a test and installed this application on editorial devices (iPhone 6 and iPad Pro), which until then had not been affected by the problem. After installing the app, the problem really manifested itself. But the bad news is that uninstalling the app or restarting the device didn't fix the error right away.
Unfortunately, I can confirm this error on iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 :(
ipad mini 2.. iphone 5S.. damn it.. I'm pissed as a dog.. when will they finally do something properly? Steve shouldn't have left them the grass he didn't have time to dig up :DD
7 beta versions and I still don't avoid serious mistakes. Does anyone still work there in this multi-cult, diverse paradise on earth, or is it just a bearded hipster-coconut?
Um, I have 9.3 and today it appeared that 9.3 was downloaded and ready to install. The release notes are the original ones, it doesn't look like a bugfix.
And don't you have an iPhone 5s or older? For those, did Apple release 9.3 again due to the speed of iOS on older devices?
Thanks. Yes, I have 5s - I could have written that too, ugh... :)
I have the same info on the 5s. So install 9.3 a second time?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, it should run better than the original 9.3. But I have no experience, I have 6s.
Thanks, I'll take a chance :-)
It's interesting, after installing 9.3 on my iPhone 6s everything worked fine. My lines suddenly don't work at the weekend. iDNES and other websites, including google search, load, but nothing happens after clicking on the article or the searched link. After using 3D Touch, Safari freezes in Chrome, the link can be opened in a new tab.
I also have the problem with iOS 9.3. After the update was released, I immediately downloaded this woman on the iP5S, but I did not reboot. When we wanted to run it over the weekend, the iPhone reported that it was not connected to the Internet and could not be updated to iOS 9.3. Don't know what to do with it? The update cannot be downloaded again, it is already downloaded and cannot be "deleted". A restart or a hard restart didn't help. :( Is there a problem with data verification? That Apple has released a new version of iOS 9.3 in the meantime and it won't let you verify the old one anymore? Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks a lot!
You have to use the iTunes program on the PC to update, you can do the update there, a similar thing happened to me once on 3G, but I can't rule it out 100%, the so-called update failed or interrupted?? so you'll see... iPhone of course, cable to PC
Thanks! Everything works fine on my iP6S Plus and the installation was also a success. I'll try iTunes. I didn't want to install it at all, but in this case I probably have nothing else left...
Don't try, iTunes probably won't help either. For older devices, Apple has temporarily withdrawn the option to upgrade to 9.3. You will have to wait for a newer version.
iTunes helped. Golfmagic: the problem was that the update was already downloaded to the phone, but the verification did not start. :( Now everything works as it should.;)
You delete it in iCloud Storage and Usage...
It offers me an update to 9.3, even though I've had 9.3 for a long time.
Am I the only one who finds iOS 9 untuned overall? I never found a problem on 8.4.X, only one crash and now? terror
This is an incredible mess, the internet cannot be used on the phone for a week. I can't even open links in Google search. It is interesting that world media such as 9to5Mac, Macrumors are already coming up with this.
Ever since I installed iOS 9.3 on my ip 6s, more apps are crashing. Apple music in particular is unusable. Furthermore, most social networking applications. Some were resolved by restarting the phone, others were not.
I do not understand…. I don't have a single problem. iPhone 6s Plus 64GB – A9 TSMC with iOS9.3 from Monday 21.3. 20:05 ;)
iPhone5C – I have no problem
Hi, I have a question. I installed iOS 9.3 on my iPhone 5 and there are no updates at all that this new software should be able to do. Does anyone know what to do with it?
Thanks
Night Shift will definitely not be there, which is probably the most significant novelty. I don't know the others.
iphone 5 does not support night shift.. it does not have a 64 bit processor
I sent a friend who I think has an iPhone 6 a link to this article via "Messages" - unfortunately he can't open it ;)
The same.. I can't open links from mail.. the application freezes after clicking on the link.
I have a problem with PDF files to iBooks: I open the PDF in iBooks from Safari, iBooks is displayed, the progress wheel in the upper list moves, but the new PDF does not appear in iBooks. I switch back to the PDF file source and repeat the 'open in iBooks' action and they are already displayed in iBooks. but never for the first time.. I have had this ailment since March 9.3
finally i know why last few days safari is unusable .. (5S)
Hello, do you know if something is already in the works? The falling of the phone is really a tragedy... Thanks Tom
That problem is not related to IOS 9.3, at least it appears on 9.2.1. According to Apple, it is caused by some applications that significantly exceed the limits of the allowed amount of url's. Although Booking.com is considered to be the main problem, the problem is also with other apps, so it will not be possible to solve it permanently until the patch is released by Apple. If the user is already able to find which application specifically causes this for him and uninstalls it, the problem will appear again during a new installation.
and at the same time it was enough to write that Night Shift will not be available on iPhone 5 and iPad 3, nor would I install the update :( Broken lines are hell, I didn't know about app freezing at Apple.
I installed 9.3 on my iPhone 5S, I can open the links, I have booking.com installed, but since the upgrade to 9.3 I haven't started it yet. Today my phone says iOS 9.3 is downloaded and ready to install… even though I already installed that version a week ago??? I don't understand and I'm afraid to untap it so I don't screw up Safari, because I use my phone quite often and it's quite an important work tool for me. Update: I can't open a link from Facebook.
It also offered me to update to 9.3 again in itunes, but not on the phone. I read somewhere that Apple released a fix for older phones. The strange thing is that he replaced the identical version, which I don't think he ever did.
I also get the update in iTunes. In settings too. Did you install and what about the problem with opening the link?
so far everything seems ok :)
But I have another problem that is not related to this update. Don't know how to play an album on iPhone without mixing the track order?
As soon as I installed 9.3 for the second time, the links work, then the 9.3.1 update popped up, which fixes those links - so I'm wondering if it will stop working.. Ad iTunes, I have them listed, but they must have the track number in the meta info . Even when I look now, some of the songs are shuffled. But for example, playing a movie from a stream freezes when I don't want to record it first, but play it on a device via wifi.. It's interesting that there are so many different problems..
Patch 9.3.1 installed. So hopefully it will be calm :)
On the iP5 after the second update, nothing observable happened, the lines still cause the app to freeze.
And do you really have today's 9.3.1 patch installed? This is different than the recent second install of 9.3
Ha, I don't know about that one, thanks, I'll give it a try!
