The most annoying bug of iOS 7 was crashing of Safari. For iPad Air it happened for me all the time, every day 3-10 crashes during regular usage. Using other browser did not help - the problem was deeper, all browsers shared this issue. My biggest hope for 7.1 was this bug being fixed. But no, Safari still fails.
How to reproduce:
1. Go to someone's mobile.twitter.com account, like https://mobile.twitter.com/newsycombinator https://mobile.twitter.com/newsycombinator
2. Scroll down a few pages (for example, scroll down until 5 new pages load from infinite scrolling).
3. Scroll up very-very fast - Safari will fail.
This behavior did not change in 7.1, and this is not the only way to reprocude. Sometimes it just fails while opening a single page, without any other tabs opened.
- sigzero 13y agoI have an iPad Mini 2nd gen...and Safari has never crashed on me and I use it all the time. Maybe that bug is hard to hit.
- mitchell209 13y agoLuckily for me, iOS 7.1 fixed Safari on my iPad Air. I haven't had a crash since I updated to the beta months ago, while I was crashing daily on 7.0.
- amima 13y agoHave you tried twitter crash example? Does it work without crash for you? If so, you are lucky, I wish I could have this problem fixed too.
- elboru 13y agoI experienced that bug with Google Chrome, it use to happen when I open "too many" tabs (10 or more). Not sure if that's google's or apple's fault.
- amima 13y agoFor Safari it happens even if there are only a few tabs opened (sometimes even for only one tab).
- frik 13y agoI doubt it has anything todo with the number of tabs. I had hundreds of tabs open in Chrome. As Chrome keeps only the last few pages in memory, that's not an issue. But some very JavaScript heavy sites can be an issue, especially with devices that have only 512MB of memory.
