Stop Safari showing

W

hen iOS 13 launched in September 2019, a

number of users began to notice that websites

would sometimes appear as blank pages in

Safari. In many cases, closing the tab and relaunching

the site would rectify the issue but there have been times

that the problem persists (even in subsequent updates),

forcing users to seek a different solution.

If this happens to you, then you can take a few rectifying

steps. For starters, you could try connecting to a different

network or you could follow the age-old trick of turning

your device off and on again. But there are other methods

available to you that offer a potentially longer-term solution

• other than switching to a different browser such as
  Chrome, of course. Here we take a look at some of them.

Step-by-step Fix Safari’s blank page problem

1

Blank screens

Use Safari on your iPhone or iPad in the

usual way. Most of the time it will work as it

should, displaying websites without any issues

but blank screens can start to appear.

2

Switch to cellular

You may be able to quickly fix this by

turning off the Wi-Fi and making use of your

cellular data. Simply access the Control Centre

on your device and tap the Wi-Fi icon.

3

Launch Settings

If this doesn’t rectify the issue, then you

will need to clear Safari’s accumulated data.

Do so by launching the Settings app before

navigating to the option for Safari.

If you have experienced blank Safari websites since

updating to iOS 13 then there are some possible fixes...
