Can’t tap shortcuts in iOS?!

BlueGiant42 — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 13:38:04 GMT

For some reason when I tap on the address bar in an open browser tab I no longer have the ability to tap on my shortcuts in iOS. It shows the shortcuts when I tap the address bar, but they are subdued, a little more shaded than usual. Then it just goes back to the page, leaving the address bar if I try to tap one of the shortcuts. I have to open a fresh new tab in order to be able to tap on my shortcuts.

is this an update issue/change in functionality? Or is something wrong with my app? It’s really annoying.

Started happening to me recently, and is pretty clearly unintentional. Annoying enough that I started searching for solutions, but am pretty sure it’s just a problem with the latest update.

Same here! I’d have expected a fix within a day but it’s been a couple of days now, so long that I decided to report a bug.

I just updated with the latest from the App Store and it’s fixed
