Seems like a good reason to upgrade away from vendor lock-in ;)

 

 

It's a difficult problem. On one hand, bugs like this are a pain. On the other hand, if Chrome were available for iOS then I'd fear for a repeat of the IE days with a browser monoculture.

I’m on safari mostly, GeekZone behaves generally well except for when I post/reply, it goes to that page not found after pressing the post button  and I have to start again (usually by clicking back button, copying the text, refreshing the page, pasting the text and pressing post again).

 

 

 

Edit: didn’t have the issue just now 😀 hahah

To be fair it isn't happening as much these days. Has periods where it happens heaps then can go days without happening at all.

 

Incredibly annoying to diagnose, I've tried all sorts of things and I know @freitasm also has. I am still thinking it is an iOS bug.

If anyone is tech savvy you can try sideloading this on your device. It does not use iOS webkit and it is a gecko-based web browser.

We changed a setting last night to try to narrow down the fault. @michaelmurfy seems happy so far. Has anyone else had this problem before but found it ok since this morning?

Seems… better.

 

I won’t call it solved yet.

I haven't had it today, but due to how intermittent it is we'd better wait a week or two before jumping to conclusions.

I haven’t had this issue come back since.

This is what we think is happening, and the change we made was to disable 0-RTT: Safari iOS 26.5.2: first navigatio… | Apple Developer Forums

 

It seems to only affect Safari.

No more occurrences of this weird "Safari show empty page on first load" problem in the last two weeks?

It was still happening until I moved off of Spark Mobile a few days ago. No issues since then on One NZ.
