@ze7 I just was looking through old help articles on Apple, Google, and other sites. There have been similar issues with them in the past and it seems 90% of them said the solution is just to force close the app (Brave, which should still be running in the background even though it snaps to your “desktop”) and/or simply turn off your iPad and turn it back on a couple minutes later.
Have you been through those steps already and still have the same issue?
Thanks for the reply but the problem remained. It’s always chancy when using the normal methods we use (such as restarting). The thing is that it successfully generates a URL when searching but snaps to desktop halfway so it’s more likely to be a bug being triggered anytime a URL is inputed.
I only have an iphone with me, searching on which search engine? if I search from the address bar just opened a new tab here. Maybe change the search engine and then restart the browser?
Does searching in private window mode do anything?
If it’s 14.2 or lower then we it will crash for you unfortunately, we are working on a hotfix.
It affects older iOS versions only, as a workaround you can update your iOS device to a newer iOS 14 build
Hi all, this should be fixed now in build 1.35.1, it’s live on App Store but you might need to go to the Brave app in app store manually in order to update it, it’s a staged rollout
