The Safari icon on your iPhone is missing, App Store or another standard application that cannot be removed by the traditional method? Luckily, restoring them is pretty easy. About what to do if Safari, the App Store or another regular iOS application is gone from the iPhone, see this guide.
Step 1. Go to the menu " Settings» → « Main».
Step 2. Click on " Restrictions” and enter the password previously set for the restrictions function. In the event that you do not know the password, then you must reset it. You can find out how to do this in ().
Step 3. Click " Turn off restrictions" and re-enter the password to disable the function, or toggle the switch " safari» (and other standard applications if necessary) to the active position. Note that if the App Store icon on your iPhone has disappeared, then you need to switch to the active position “ Installing programs».
like this in a simple way restored deleted icons of standard iOS apps including Safari. Please note that normally deleted standard applications, for example, Notes is restored by reinstalling from the App Store.
A few clicks and you're protected.
You have an iPhone and spend a lot of time on the Internet with it. You visit sites, enter logins-passwords and so on.
Stop!
The Safari browser can be made secure by activating a few standard settings. And now you will learn how to increase the safety of your stay on the Internet.
1. Remove the history of search queries
Go to " Settings - Safari - search engine ". I bet you have a checkmark next to the word Google?
The google corporation knows all about your search queries. Do you remember looking for how to print a gun on a 3D printer? No? But in the depths of Google, on some server, information about this is still stored to identify your needs and draw up a portrait of the consumer. Do you need it?
Note that among several search services you have DuckDuckGo. This is the only service that does not collect or store information about search queries. Feel free to choose it as the main one and forget about targeted advertising based on your search queries.
2. Disable surveillance and increase privacy
Go to " Preferences - Safari". Make sure you have Do Not Track and Attention! Fake site.
By activating the " Do not track”, you limit the ability of some sites to track your location by default. Why do they need to know where you are?
The second point speaks for itself - the browser will warn you if you suddenly want to follow a link leading to a fake site. For example, when shopping online, you may be taken to a fake site that mimics a store page.
You did not notice anything, entered the data of your bank card– and was left without money. It's better to play it safe and trust Safari to keep track of where you go on the Internet.
3. Remove temporary files and "tails"
Go to " Preferences - Safari", and find the item " Block. cookie". Make sure the "Block always" option is selected.
Cookies are tiny bits of code that websites leave on your smartphone for various needs. For example, you looked at the site, stopped at some page, closed the browser.
The next time you open this site again, you will continue browsing not from the beginning, but from the page where you left off. This convenience is the merit of Cooks.
However, cookies are the weakest link in the privacy of your Internet surfing. Most cookies keep track of which sites you visit in order to give you ads.
I went once by chance to the site of diesel generators - and then you come across ads for diesel generators for a long time. This is how cookies work.
It's better to prevent such files from being stored on your iPhone at all, so choose "Always Block" and be sure of your privacy.
To be sure to clean your iPhone - go to " Settings - Safari - Add-ons - Site Data».
Here they are, "cookies" already settled in your smartphone. Scroll down the list to the end and feel free to click " Delete all data". The session for expelling "cookies" is over.
4. Turn on private mode
Final advice: if you want maximum privacy on the Internet, use a special mode in the Safari browser.
In the browser itself, click the icon with 2 squares in the lower right corner and go to the “Private Access” mode. This is the mode increased security when Safari doesn't remember visited pages, search history and disables the autocomplete feature.
Thus, you do not need to worry that the sites you visited will be saved in the history. Every time you will open absolutely clean home page safari. Complete privacy.
5. Hide logins and passwords
Go to "Settings - Safari - Passwords". To continue, place your finger on Touch ID or enter your unlock passcode on non-Touch ID devices.
See? a huge list of all your logins and passwords that you entered through the browser. Here they are all possible, in theory, to steal.
You can manually delete all or some of your usernames and passwords, although they will also be deleted from your iCloud Keychain. Ideally, I recommend using a dedicated cross-platform password storage app, 1Password.
Yes, it will take time and monotonous work with pens to transfer all the information to this application. Yes, the app is not cheap in the App Store and Mac App Store. But, if you really value your logins and passwords, you will have to make efforts to keep them 100% safe.
Use the Internet without fear
Of course, you can download any of several popular third-party browsers in the App Store, which are supposedly all safe and secure. But why, if the standard Safari on your iPhone has many settings with which you can make your stay on the Internet as safe as possible?
Of course, it is important to have your head on your shoulders - do not follow incomprehensible links, carefully look at site addresses and be on the alert if you need to enter payment data somewhere. Safe internet surfing!
P.S. If you want to surf the Internet with a brand new Apple gadget, here are the links:
Many iPhone models for every taste. iPhone - iPhone among iPhones!
The only thing better than a MacBook is the new MacBook. Choose, buy.
It happens that users of iOS devices get to sites with malicious code, after which a window appears that completely blocks work with the Safari browser. This may be a warning message allegedly from the authorities or a message with a clear extortion of money and a requirement to pay a fine or send an SMS to a number.
Whatever the message, it is impossible to close it, which completely blocks Safari on the iPhone or iPad.
The warning box and the page itself can be disguised as official bodies, such as Roskomnadzor. The page can be stylized as the official site and contain the appropriate text and coat of arms. In particular, such a "virus" appears under the address roskomnadsor.ru (through the letter "s"). But it is worth paying attention that the official address of the ILV is not even roskomnadzor.ru (i.e. through the letter “z”, as it would be correct), but rkn.gov.ru!
The message itself says: “The page cannot be opened. Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid." Below it, in the body of the page itself, you can see the following text:
“To remove the blocking, you need to pay a fine in the amount of 3,500 rubles to the Beeline federal number ... by any accessible way(like a regular mobile phone top-up).
Another option may be a large window, which says that on behalf of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, a computer or iPhone is blacklisted for violating the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, and also a requirement to pay a fine to the number (for example, MTS).
As a kind of similar “virus”, the window may ask for a password with the message “ACCESS BLOCKED! enter the password you received. But also no actions help, and the banner requires you to send SMS.
On the Internet, the most common way to deal with this "ailment" is to delete browser history and site data:
- Settings → Safari → "Clear history and site data"
- Confirm with "Clear. history and data"
But in this method there is a significant flaw:
Attention! After these steps, the browser history will be deleted, cookies and other browsing data. In this case, the history will be deleted on all iOS devices under your account iCloud.
Well, as an alternative, on the Web they may offer to take down all the data from the phone / tablet and “collect” it again from scratch or from backup. But this is bullshit, don't even think about it.
How to unlock Safari without losing data
My method of unlocking the iPhone / iPad seems to me the most humane. Its essence is to simply close the tab with a malicious site, no data will be lost.
How to Unblock Safari on iPhone/iPad
- Completely close the app (remove the app from phone processes): Double-tap the Home button → Swipe up on the Safari window to make it disappear
- HZ, is this step necessary for the method to work, but that's how I did it.
- Settings → Safari → Add-ons
- Disable "JavaScript"
Most sms ransomware scam sites, their window blockers in particular, are powered by JavaScript. Disabling this functionality with a high degree of probability will lead to the inoperability of "malicious" windows.
Open Safari and close all tabs that you think are suspicious, especially the one that was blocked.
And do not roam on unverified sites anymore! You can enable JavaScript again to enjoy the full functionality of normal resources.
If it does not help, describe the problem in detail in the comments.
Many users have reported that Safari is unstable after updating to Yosemite. This is expressed in periodic departures and freezes of pages for which this has not been noticed before. Identifying the cause of this behavior of the browser is quite difficult, but there are several ways that can help.
1. Update to the latest version of OS X
Sometimes the banal installation of the latest system updates saves you from such troubles with Safari. Many users often ignore installing updates due to the fact that some of them require a Mac restart, which is not always appropriate. So the first recommendation is to install updates:
- Opening the menu ‣ App Store ‣ Updates and install all available updates.
After installing and restarting Safari, do not forget to clear the cache (menu safari ‣ Clear history and website data).
2. Clear all Safari cache manually
In the depths of Safari, a lot of temporary files and various caches are stored, which can be cleaned manually in safe mode to gain access to some folders:
- Restart your Mac and start OS X in safe mode (hold down the Shift)
- In Finder, press the keyboard shortcut Command+Shift+G and enter the path ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/
- Delete the Safari Cache and Restart Your Mac Normally
If the problems are gone, then the next step can be skipped. If they remain, you can try another way.
3. Disable third-party extensions and plugins
Of the third-party extensions, the ill-fated flash plugin and the Adobe extension are “particularly different” Acrobat reader. As many users have pointed out, both extensions cause issues with Safari on OS X Yosemite. Removing or disabling them will only solve the problem if Safari is having problems playing Flash videos or Silverlight animations.
- Quit Safari (if it hasn't already crashed by itself)
- Open Finder, click Command+Shift+G and type in this path / Library/Internet Plug-ins/
- Create new folder on your desktop and drag the plugins that are causing problems to it
- Restart Safari and see how it works
If there is no effect, you can easily return the plugins by simply dragging them from the desktop to their original place.
Hello dear friends! Remember those wonderful moments when your newly bought Mac did everything with jet speed. everyday tasks did not work, but literally flew. But unfortunately, over time (and sometimes with the next update), the “apple friend” begins to slow down more and more often, especially for the worse, it is worth noting how Safari slows down, working in the browser sometimes makes you terribly nervous, the multi-colored rotating circle starts almost not dream.
I am sure that this problem haunts the lion's share of Macs and therefore I decided to write a small article about how you can return the original performance to the Apple browser. Sometimes this requires a couple of primitive operations, but sometimes you have to pretty rack your brains.
Before I tell you about the ways to treat Safari in just a few lines, I will pour out my soul. The browser sometimes brought me to white heat with its slowness, and even more infuriated that the page on which there were freezes quickly and opened perfectly in Chrome. I didn’t want to switch to another browser because of iCloud, Handoff and much more, so I decided by all means to figure out why Safari could slow down and how to fix it.
It goes without saying that you already have an up-to-date version of Safari and Mac OS X installed, I won’t even dwell on this. If not, then be sure to update, perhaps it is in new version Apple has fixed all the bugs.
Attention: As soon as you update, immediately delete all old browser data, how to do this, read the advice below.
We clean history, cache, cookies and other accumulated rubbish
In the browser menu, click Safari > clear history and site data. Choose an item the whole story and then clear. You can do the same by clicking on the history tab.
Next, we clear the cache, here it’s a little more complicated:
1. Restart your Mac and hold down the Shift key ( safe mode).
2. In the Finder, press Cmd + Shift + G and copy this path into the window that opens ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/
3. Remove Cache.db
4. Reboot your Mac again to return to normal mode.
5. Open Safari and check how it works now.
We calculate bad plugins
Well, if the problem is still relevant, then we continue. Often third-party extensions affect the correct operation of the browser, a particularly unreliable friend is Flash plugin Player has the most complaints about it, but other applications can also slow down Safari considerably, so to calculate the "villain" we proceed as follows:
1. Close the browser.
2. Open Finder and press the already familiar combination Cmd + Shift + G, enter the path /Library/Internet Plug-ins/
3. Now create a folder somewhere and move all third-party plugins into it, and then test the operation of Safari. If everything is ok, then add back one extension at a time and check the operation of the browser and see after which the "brakes" will begin.
4. If after these manipulations nothing changes, then the matter is different, you can return all the plugins back.
Java is to blame
It happens that Safari slows down on sites using Java. To fix the problem, try installing the latest version of this technology.
That's all in general effective ways Safari resuscitation, you can of course try to disable autocomplete, delete settings files, but this is more for peace of mind than for good 🙂
If all this did not help, then I'm afraid I'll have to take drastic measures and reinstall the operating system.
By the way, I still had a treacherous idea to jump off to Chrome, but it turned out to be not ideal either, I noticed such a feature that when playing a video, the Google browser does not load the Mac sickly, making it very “warm” (in terms of temperature).
Here are two screenshots of system monitoring when playing the same video in safari and chrome.
