Page 3 | Anyone else getting a recurrence of the constant freezing, crashing, pages not loading that was happening a while back?

It’s really bad. I have to keep shutting down and restarting my IPad.

Sorry I'm old.
What does "clearing your history" mean

Last few days has been the worst on both ipad and iPhone. Both get very hot after a while, battery drains, freezes, especially on long threads. I think it’s from constantly loading the ads and images.

Just to add I’m on app not safari.
it’s frustrating, I tried to comment on a long thread this morning it froze mid comment. I gave up. Short threads seem ok.

Happening ll the time on my iPhone as well, using web browser in safari. OK on the iPad,

ReignOfError · 09/06/2025 09:45

Yep, on an iPhone. I seem to have commented on this problem on about six different threads in the last couple of weeks. Maybe Mumsnet could pull them all together to see how many people are pissed if by this happening yet again

Longhotsummers · 09/06/2025 09:37

Happening all the time for me on iPhone- both app and desktop. Very annoying.

Mine was doing this for weeks (safari on iPhone) and it was horrendous. I cleared my history and website data and it’s helped massively.

Clearing history always works for me on the iPad as a short term fix but I find it's a PITA because it clears data I don't want to dump and more importantly it doesn't seem to fix the problem for a significant length of time..

With my set up I find if I clear history on day 1 by day 2 I can start to see the iPad struggling on MN again..

Mumsnet is the only forum I've been on where this happens.

Yes - ever since the forced adblocker removal. The only reason I had an adblocker in the first place was because it was the only thing that stopped Mumsnet glitching.

Forgot to say, Safari too and my phone also gets extremely hot at times while trying to load MN. What’s that about?

Same here, I use safari on iPhone (the app is worse)
Pages freeze, then jump, laggy typing, phone gets hot trying to process everything, battery drain is ridiculous.
I only read one or 2 threads and I’ve had enough.
The ads are a pain …. Did anyone ever buy anything off an ad EVER 🤷🏼‍♀️ what a waste of money that must be

Same.

It’s a pain.

Goalie55 · 09/06/2025 08:40

Yes re-downloaded the app as unusable on web browser, this isn’t much better.

Smartiepants79 · 09/06/2025 08:39

Yes me, on safari on an iPhone.
It’s beyond frustrating.

Google informs me that iOS represents around 48.5% of UK mobile operating system market share, so it’s probably worth making sure the site performs ok on iOS devices

notimagain · 09/06/2025 08:24

On iPad with Safari I've found it's been unuseable for what is starting to feel like almost forever.

Better on phone/Android but have the fast scrolling issue others have described..

MolluscMonday · 09/06/2025 08:10

Yep. Iphone on Safari. Phone getting hot, battery tanking, pages blank and/or reloading. It’s all the ads.

RaraRachael · 09/06/2025 08:08

Not freezing etc but I'm having to bookmark every single thread I go on as it won't refresh to the most recent

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 09/06/2025 08:07

Yes, I’d forgotten about my phone getting really hot. I mean it’s so frustrating to browse the site at the moment that it does make me go and read a book instead which is probably better for me in the long run, but if I want to rot my brain on the internet I should be able to darn it!

HermioneWeasley · 09/06/2025 07:36

@LivMumsnet the site still isn’t loading properly. Is there an update?

knowifIcando · 09/06/2025 01:08

I thought my iPad was broke!

JohnTheRevelator · 09/06/2025 01:04

Constantly over the last few weeks. I'm on an android phone. And he's anyone else had the issue with not being able to edit a post? It happens about 50% of the time,no matter how often you click on the word 'edit post',it just won't allow it!

Fannyy · 09/06/2025 01:00

Yes. Very slow in iPhone

BellaVita · 08/06/2025 11:20

Yes, it’s very annoying!

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 08/06/2025 11:16

Glad to hear it’s not just me. This is exactly what’s happening on my iPhone
