The app crashes when certain search terms are entered, which appears to be a bug in the app at the moment. From what we can tell, the bug has been going on since last night and affected users are running a variant of the operating system.
It's not clear what's causing the issue, as reports suggest that it crashes after the first three letters of a word are typed. Reports of "tar," "bes," "wal," "wel," "old," "sta," and other words crashing the app have been reported. People try to type in things like "Walmart" or "Starbucks" but don't get past the first three letters before the browser crashes.
@AppleSupport hello, I have a very strange issue with my new iPhone 14 and my mothers new iPhone 14. When we start to type Walmart “Wal” into the search engine the phones instantly close safari. See video below.. please help? pic.twitter.com/P5mq1ahaih — 805 🇺🇸 (@Dakodes) November 14, 2022
Not all users appear to be affected by this issue at the moment. People have reported the problem to the support team, and Apple appears to be aware of it.
@rsgnl @MacRumors super weird bug confirmed on two iPhones (at home network and cell). Open Safari, start typing the word best and hit the space bar. Safari completely crashes! Was trying to search “best wallpapers…” but can’t make it to wallpapers lol. — Chris Weaver (@chrisbweaver) November 14, 2022
It is likely that an issue on the server side will be fixed without an update.
