Default Safari in iphone 6

I replaced my IP6 recently (the old one had a dodgy charge port) and have been having major issues with Safari - it keeps freezing, not allowing me to type in URLs, doesn't remember favourites, etc - I have to shut it down and keep trying and it's a PITA.

I've cleared all cache/history - all that's done is meant I have to remember loads of bloody passwords and usernames for stuff like Twitter.

IoS won't be out until about September - any idea what can be done?!

It's a 64GB "normal" iPhone 6.

Back everything up to your PC then click restore iphone. Set up as a new phone

Then "eject it" from itunes and on the phone, reset from settings>general>reset>erase all content and settings. Its probably overkill but might as well be sure.

Open safari and see if it works now.

If it does, plug your phone back in and restore from last backup.

If it doesn't its back to to apple for a replacement.

Cheers. I was wondering if I might need to resort to this.
I have so many passwords, etc for work (I run a few social media campaigns) that it's a royal PITA having to input them all again.

I was hoping it was an issue with a simple fix (having done some searching).

Not having a huge amount of luck with my iPhones...

as long as the password are either txt based in your notes section or actually part of your keychain they should be fine...

do you have an Ipad and does it all work on that if so, the IPhone should once wiped mirror it all back again, but back it up to be sure....

No iPad, just a Mac.

Make sure your iCloud keychain is turned on. Settings | iCloud | Keychain. Turn it on on your Mac as well. I should mention that the keychain is open to an exploit right now so avoid installing programs.

Consider 1Password or similar.
