Hi there! I see that you're experiencing freezing issues with Fox News on your iPhone running iOS 18.5. To help you better, could you tell me a bit more about when the freezing happens? Is it while watching live streams, videos on demand, or browsing the Fox News app or website? Also, does the entire phone freeze or just the Fox News app?
Once I have these details, I can guide you with some steps to fix the freezing issue. Looking forward to your reply!
Thanks for the info! So, the freezing happens specifically while you're browsing Fox News, presumably on the website using your iPhone with iOS 18.5, right?
Let’s try a few steps to fix the freezing during browsing:
1. Clear Safari Cache and Cookies - Go to Settings > Safari. - Tap Clear History and Website Data, then confirm. This helps if stored website data is causing slowdowns or freezing.
2. Close and Restart Safari - Swipe up from the bottom (or double-click Home button if your phone has one) to open the app switcher. - Swipe the Safari app off the screen to close it. - Reopen Safari and try browsing Fox News again.
3. Check Safari Extensions or Content Blockers Sometimes some content blockers or extensions can interfere with web pages. - Go to Settings > Safari > Extensions and disable any you have, then check again.
4. Restart Your iPhone A fresh reboot can often solve temporary glitches. Hold the power button and slide to power off, then turn it back on.
5. Try Using an Alternative Browser If you have apps like Chrome or Firefox installed, try visiting foxnews.com there and see if freezing still occurs.
Lastly, make sure your iOS 18.5 is fully updated with any minor patches by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
Could you try these and let me know if the freezing persists during browsing? If yes, we can look deeper into network or device settings.
