For goodness sake Apple - this takes the cake for weirdest bug since the early Windows 10 Preview build which caused random letters to be missing from text...

Typing “old” (space) into iOS Safari crashes the app

Tbf the “steps” in the tweet didn’t even specify where in Safari to enter the text (text area, search bar, anywhere). So even absent the relevant config I’d say it’s a pretty lacking bug report in the steps too.
You're right, that would have been useful. * edit crazy typo

> your device may have to reside CONUS for some of "tar"(-get), "bes"(-tbuy), I have no idea what this means
"CONUS" is short for "CONtinental United States"
As distinct from OCONUS. https://veteran.com/military-acronyms/

#85Can confirm. For me a reboot, administered immediately after 3 consecutive crashes a few hours ago, seemed to fix the issue.

My guess is a lot of the crashes come from old.reddit.com
Is old.reddit.com very unstable for everyone else in safari or just me? On my past 3 iphones through multiple iOS versions I can't browse for more than 10 minutes without eventually hanging/crashing safari. It seems to happen most frequently after browsing posts with images
I haven’t had any trouble with it.

People are suggesting that it seems to come from Google suggestions, try first letters for local equivalents of Old Navy, Starbucks, Walmart, etc.
I have DDG as my search engine. Crashes on my phone running 16.1.1. People are suggesting it might be en-US only.
I use DDG as my search engine on 16.1.1, and live in Florida (the English speaking part), but I couldn't reproduce it.
Must be something else more complicated.

#88"Turning off “Safari Suggestions” in settings fixes it." I should have turned that off before. It certainly stopped this one weird crash.
I turn off search suggestions, auto-complete, auto-correct, intellisense and its ilk, everywhere I can.

#89They really, really don't want you using old.reddit.com
Doesn't reproduce for me btw. I also have the setting disabled that adds a period when typing a space twice, if that matters.
Re: Typing “old” (space) into iOS Safari crashes the app
#90In my case I don't even need to type the space - the moment I press "d" it crashes.
Same for me. Doesn't happen in Firefox which is strange because I thought all browsers used the same Safari engine...
Firefox on iOS uses webview for page rendering, but the url suggestions (which seem to be the cause of the crash) are separate and are handled by firefox's code.
