To ask if anyone else using an Apple device is finding Mumsnet unusable at the moment?

It is dreadful. Constant freezing and pages not loading. I have an iPad mini 6th generation. My android phone works fine so I'm thinking it's just Apple!

Yes, I’m having the same on my iPhone. I assumed it was the number adverts causing the issue, not my phone but you may be right.

Works fine on my iphone, using the app though.

It’s fine on my iPad , using DuckduckGo ( which blocks ads) but awful on my iPhone where I use Safari. I don’t have good experience with the app.

Yep, it's awful on my ipad. I've given up even trying tbh. Absolutely fine on my android phone. I dont really understand what the issue is.

I'm on Samsung and have had to close 3 pages today; I assumed it was something to do with ads.

Seems ok on the app. It’s had some terrible days recently though.

Sometimes.. I use safari on my MacBooks mostly and I just assumed it was due to all my adblocking stuff I have going on. I get no ads, but also sometimes, no posts either!

It’s terrible on Safari but fine on Google Chrome - worth a try?

This has happened a couple of times recently with my iPhone, using Safari.

Dear God, it’s like trying to communicate with a decrepit cranky dial-up modem. It even glitched on this thread with 9 responses!
Safari on iPad/iPhone.

It’s the ads. I deregged for a while as I had been trying to play ball with the ‘accept cookies and ads or pay’ when it came in, but the website became literally unusable. I wanted to come back for the menopause support so I reluctantly downloaded DuckDuckGo and now it runs like a dream. So it’s definitely the mad amount and type of ads the site usually uses.

It goes through phases but it’s the ads definitely- safari on iPhone 13 here

Install DuckDuckGo onto your iPhones if you can. I have and it’s fine. I wouldn’t be able to come on this site at all otherwise… it drained my battery very quickly and was hell to scroll, load, post. Completely inoperable.

No. My iPhone is fine to read it. Are you using the app?

It does seem to be better on Google chrome, thanks!

Appalling recently on my iPad. I just give up most days. If there are lots of posts, I scroll, posts disappear, I have scroll back up the patiently and repeatedly scroll to get past the first 100 posts. Same happens if I quote a post, won’t let me respond until I’ve spent several minutes scrolling, page re-loads, then I get a big black banner that says rotate your device (from landscape to portrait). Page re-loads repeatedly. It’s extremely frustrating.

Same here
