my partner and I have a long running joke that I as the techy person who pretty much just uses the camera, WhatsApp and Safari on my phone has so many bugs and issues while my partner who bought the same phone on the same day as me has none of these issues but has and uses every app plugin etc under the sun. and let's face it iOS isn't really that 'customisable'

I just want Safari to work again. The rest I'll wait. I'm checking for software updates daily. it's gotten so bad that I looked up how to report bugs to Apple but I can't submit screenshots!?

I'll settle for just being able to enter data into a form in Safari without needing to reload the whole page.

just to add I had to cut this comment, reload the page, paste it in in order to be able to submit it

That sounds like your device is running out of memory. Try disabling any extensions.
