iPhone Safari CRASH - Still can't tap the address bar in your iOS? This is Apple's FIX

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
APPLE has now resolved an issue that plagued iPhone and iPad users yesterday, and caused the iOS Safari web browser to CRASH whenever a URL or new search was entered in the address bar. If you are still having trouble with the default app, Apple has a fix.</h3>

iPhone and iPad owners were yesterday <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/02/iphone-safari-crash-still-cant-tap.html">plagued by a glitch with the Safari web browser's auto-suggest feature, Safari Suggestions</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bizarre bug caused the hugely-popular iOS web browser to CRASH whenever a user tried to enter a new search or URL into the address bar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sources within Apple say the issue only affected iOS <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/mac-safari-glitch-how-to-stop-os-x.html">and OS X users</a> whose Safari Suggestions data was updated late on the 26th January, Greenwich Mean Time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apple has now rolled out a fix for the glitch, but some users could still be experiencing the infuriating bug.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's most likely because the iPhone or iPad still has the problematic Safari Suggestions data cached. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clearing the cache should solve the issues for good. To do that, head to <strong>Settings > Safari</strong> then tap <strong>Clear History and Website Data</strong>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This will wipe the web history from any devices signed into your iCloud account, so don't panic if your MacBook also loses any record of your browsing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apple fans yesterday used a number of workarounds to avoid the issue, including searching in Private mode.</div>
