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.

Same, safari on iphone. Just in the last couple of days. One long advertisement of grey blankness stops me seeing the rest of the thread. I’m surprised I could comment on this.
It stops me coming on the site as it’s so frustrating.

Hi all

Apologies for not coming back sooner.

Please can we ask a couple of questions, so we can get a clearer picture of what's going on here?

Please can you let us know how many posts per page you're viewing, and can you please let us know if you have tried clearing your cache?

Have not tried clearing cache.

I cleared my browsing history and that seems to have helped.

Oh yes. It’s been bad for weeks, freezes ipad, drains battery, I cannot navigate back to google after Mumsnet, have to quit the page by swiping up, then reloading Safari. Fed up with it!

Bad signal

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 10/06/2025 20:26

Hi Lily
50 per page. Clearing browsing data doesn’t seem to have helped

ScrambledSmegs · 11/06/2025 08:51
  • All posts on a page.
  • I clear the cache regularly, maybe evety 2-3 days. It helps for a little while but reverts more and more quickly. No other websites that I visit cause this problem.
unbelieveable22 · 11/06/2025 08:56

Same as others. Clear cache, works for a short time.

Yes, I’ll revise this to say that I cleared browsing data yesterday and performance does seem a bit better. I’ll report back if it deteriorates again

englishandelegant · 11/06/2025 10:01

Yes, same here. In fact I began my reply to this thread about 15 minutes ago but my phone became too hot and the whole app froze yet again. So I’ve waited for the phone to cool down again (which it did quickly after closing Mumsnet’s app!) Something isn’t right though since this keeps happening and is clearly happening for others too.
Too many ads and pop ups maybe? Hope it is sorted soon as it’s so hard to use Mumsnet at the moment.

englishandelegant · 11/06/2025 10:03

i don’t know how to see how many posts I’m viewing per page as it’s the app and doesn’t seem to say (unless I’m missing it somewhere). Yes cleared cache still happening.

Ddakji · 12/06/2025 21:37

This is getting beyond tedious now. Not only does MN not work half the time on my iPhone, but when that happens it affects everything else on Safari as well, and I can’t open anything else, either a new tab or an existing tab.

Please sort this out @mnhq!

Same for me (but on iPad). We’ve been reporting these problems for weeks now, but there seems to be no progress on it being fixed. Very bad show.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 13/06/2025 08:24

I cleared my browsing data from my phone on Tuesday (thus temporary locking myself out of MN until I figured out my password). Performance improved massively, but it is starting to get sticky again now

TooEarlyForBreakfast · 16/06/2025 18:18

I've been having all these same problems on my iPhone, and it's getting even worse, with only Active loading and only a few threads at a time. Today it's been imposdible to use, with threads not opening beyond the first two or posts.

iPad is little better but very slow. At least it's not getting hot.

doofdoofdneighbour · 16/06/2025 22:45

I’m having this problem too - iPhone app glitching (jerky scrolling, then freezing, needing to restart app and then it not restarting). My phone is also getting really hot and according to the stats Mumsnet used 38% of my battery in 30 mins. Using the latest app version etc.

SwedishEdith · 17/06/2025 00:08

I'm getting this now as well. Interestingly, I still didn't see adverts on mn until only about a month ago. I could still browse ad free until relatively recently. This freezing seems to be linked to when, annoyingly, the ads started to show.

Rayqueen · 17/06/2025 02:08

No it's not just happening on iPads.ive had it happening on my phone for about a week, will be reading then blank it crashes several times a night.

Speakeasy22 · 17/06/2025 02:23

I can now only use Chrome for Mumsnet. Constant freezing on Safari. This is on a mac. On my iphone, only the app works.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 17/06/2025 07:12

Just to say I cleared my browsing history last Tuesday and performance improved massively, although the site still destroys my phone battery

however, performance is back to being poor again (having to close and reopen safari to get blank screens moving again etc)

I use the mobile version, not the app, on an Android phone using Chrome. I would try DuckDuckGo but I've forgotten my login details for mn.

Lsquiggles · 17/06/2025 09:17

I've been having this problem for at least a month on desktop using firefox. Cleared browsing history and other usual suspects and still having the same issues
