Hi! I see you’re having trouble with PressReader timing out and that the posted solution you found isn’t working for you. I’d be glad to help with that.

Just to start, can you tell me a bit more about what exactly is happening? For example:
- Are you using the PressReader app or the website on your Mac?
- When does the timeout happen? (e.g., after a certain amount of time reading, right after logging in, etc.)
- Have you tried logging out and back in, or reinstalling the app if you’re using it?
- Any other fixes you've tried already?

Knowing these details will help me guide you with a more targeted fix. Looking forward to your reply!

ios 26, ipad, through local library portal, after opening newspaper and navigating to a page, after a few moments-to-a-few minutes it quits and returns to the choose a publication page. interval is variable. chaning the auto lock timing in ios does not affect the problem. turning wifi on / off does not affect the problem. i do not use the app.

Thanks for the details. So, you’re using an iPad with iOS 16 through your local library’s portal, reading newspapers on PressReader without using the app, and the session quits unexpectedly, returning you to the publication selection page after a variable short interval. Correct?

Since you’re accessing PressReader through the library portal on iOS Safari or another browser rather than the app, the issue likely relates to the browser session or how the library’s portal manages authentication tokens or session timeouts.

Here are a few targeted steps to try:

1. Clear Safari browser cache and cookies: Sometimes old session data can cause unexpected logouts or timeouts.
- Go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
- After clearing, restart Safari and try accessing PressReader again through the library portal.

2. Use Private Browsing Mode: Open a new Private Tab in Safari and log in via the library portal. This mode avoids cached data and might keep the session stable.

3. Check for any browser content blockers: If you have any ad blockers or content blockers enabled in Safari, temporarily disable them as they might interfere with the session management.

4. Library account limitation: Some library subscriptions limit how many active sessions/devices can be used simultaneously for PressReader access. If you have other devices logged in, try logging out there or check with your library.

5. Try the official PressReader app: Although you prefer not to use the app, testing it once may help isolate whether the problem stems from the browser or the service itself.

6. Update your iPad: Although you said you have iOS 16, it’s helpful to check that your device is running the latest version available for your model, as updates fix bugs affecting apps and browser stability.

If none of these fix the timeout issue, it could also be a session timeout setting on the Library’s portal itself, which only they can adjust.

Would you like guidance on any of these steps? Or, do you have any additional info, like if this happens with all newspapers or only some titles?

oops. ios 26, not 16. duckduckgo browser, cleared cache, turned off ad blockers and other potentially interfering extensions. will try pressreader app: unsuitable. no, thank you. it seems to be stable now, with all my filters turned off. we will see ... (and thank you for listening!)

Thanks for the update! It’s great to hear the session feels more stable now that you’ve turned off all filters and cleared the DuckDuckGo browser cache. Since you mentioned iOS 26 and DuckDuckGo, it’s worth noting that some users have reported that certain browsers like DuckDuckGo can have quirks or issues with session handling or page loading on the newest iOS versions, causing unexpected behavior like you saw.

Since you prefer to use DuckDuckGo and not the PressReader app, here are a couple of extra tips that might help:

1. Keep your DuckDuckGo browser updated: Sometimes, browser developers release fixes for new iOS versions that address session stability or site compatibility.

2. Try switching temporarily to Safari or another browser for PressReader: This can help confirm if the issue really ties to DuckDuckGo specifically on iOS 26.

3. Monitor if turning filters back on triggers the timeout again: If so, consider selectively enabling only the least intrusive filters or whitelisting PressReader, as some privacy filters can block necessary scripts or cookies.

4. Reach out to PressReader support or your library if timeouts continue: They might have additional insights into ongoing compatibility issues with iOS 26 and certain browsers or can adjust settings on their end.

These points align with known browser-session quirks on modern iOS versions, especially with privacy-focused browsers like DuckDuckGo2.

If you want, I can help guide you on how to monitor or tweak browser settings or help draft a message for PressReader support. How are things looking on your end now? Are there any other symptoms or behaviors?

Are you satisfied with the solution I provided?
