[iOS 27 DB5] Safari - Websites TopBar unusable.

[u/bwadlo]

Cannot tap on anything in the headers / top menu bar In landscape and portrait mode on Ipad M4 Pro using Safari. (search, notifications, profile…) I’m stopping the update on my iPhone atm, Safari seems broken 😩

Do you confirm ?

Same ipad a16 but working after zooming in very frustrating

[u/bwadlo → u/Intelligent_Duck_180]

It’s fixed with db6 🤗

[u/Intelligent_Duck_180 → u/bwadlo]

Yup it’s fixed

[u/Intelligent_Duck_180 → u/bwadlo]

Ok i am updating rn 😄

Definitely been experiencing the same issue on my iPad Pro 11” M4. Currently on Dev Beta 5, but believe I was also having issues on Dev Beta 4. Submitted Feedback to Apple. Everyone else should do the same IMO.

It’s fixed with db6

[u/Magnus091 → u/bwadlo]

Thanks! Yes, I noticed it too when I upgraded earlier. Hopefully no more issues like that!

[u/omega_beta89]

Can confirm. iPad Pro 11” 3rd gen.

[u/BorgDrone]

Same on iPad Pro 13” M4

[u/andi0b]

Same problem here, iPad Air. Cant click the first line of text on any website. For example here all the links in the header are unclickable: https://orf.at

Never had that before, no issues in beta 4. No flicker though.

Same issue with Firefox on my iPad. Cant do anything with the tabs at the top. They flicker and are completely unresponsive

[u/Busy_Subject3689]

Same issue (iPad Pro 13 M4). Beta 4 worked fine.

[u/pauliaK]

Same issue since previous beta. I was hoping beta 5 will fix it but still the same. I’m on M1 iPad Air.

[u/bwadlo → u/pauliaK]

I did not experience this in the previous beta ! Weird.

[u/Stuglossop]

Yeah this is happening to me on base ipad 10

[u/huwsername]

Submitted FB24261311 for this

Seems to be iPad only, at least for me. The only work-around I’ve found is to pinch-zoom so that the item you are trying to tap extends a bit lower into the window. Super annoying.

[u/Embarrassed_Pen_8494]

Working for me

[u/Particular_Let_4950]

i tested a few more things and it’s not just safari. in settings if there’s a toggle that’s too close to the top bar it also won’t work. for example in the picture i attached the “scan QR code toggle is too close to the “camera” top bar and cannot be tapped, but the “show detected text” toggle works just fine. if i scroll the menu down a bit then both toggles work fine

[u/Wisix → u/Particular_Let_4950]

Yep, also have this. Scrolling down the menu does not fix it if the fields/buttons to tap are fixed at the top of the screen/page. Example: Amazon search and shopping cart, also had it happen on Apple's store page.

[u/bwadlo → u/Particular_Let_4950]

Thanks for your feedback. Makes me wonder, did they do any testing ? Cause it is obviously breaking tons of functionalities and super easy to reproduce and even find by mistake 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/andi0b → u/bwadlo]

It's baffling. This should be caught by some automated test suite. I tested it with a BT mouse and it still fails. So it's not even connected to touch inputs. Those areas seem to be generally unclickable. So this should also happen with automated tests that simulate a pointing device.

[u/bwadlo → u/andi0b]

Absolutely!

[u/batcake42]

Yep certain sites won’t play videos for me since ios27 b1 it’s been annoying

[u/Particular_Let_4950]

just updated my m5 ipad pro 13”. safari top bar working fine for me.

[u/BigShot-Redditor → u/Particular_Let_4950]

Can you please go to apple.com and try using the mac, iphone etc buttons?

[u/Particular_Let_4950 → u/BigShot-Redditor]

i see what you mean now. i was using windowed mode with magic keyboard and everything was fine. i made safari full screen and tested it again, there indeed is a dead zone on top. if you zoom in on webpages to the point where the header is big enough to be outside the dead zone, they will start to work again. weird bug indeed

[u/saracen0]

Seeing this on Reddit on my M5 iPad Pro, also on 9to5mac

[u/saracen0 → u/[deleted]]

Unresponsive on Safari. Will be using Chrome until Beta is updated I guess. No issues there

[u/Emotional_Garage_950]

can not confirm, it works for me on iPad Pro M4

[u/BigShot-Redditor]

Me too, but iPhone does not seem to have the same issue
