A significant number of iPhone and iPad users on the MacRumors discussion forums (http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-9-3-links-in-safari-**t-clickable-anymore.1962471/), Apple Support Communities (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7507396), and Twitter (https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%40applesupport%20links&src=typd) have reported an apparent iOS bug that causes Safari, Mail, Messages, **tes, Chrome, and select other preinstalled and third-party apps to crash or freeze after tapping or long-pressing on web links.
The issue has grown wider since iOS 9.3 was publicly released (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/21/apple-releases-ios-9-3/) last week, but some users also claim to be affected on iOS 9.2.1 and earlier software versions. A wide range of devices appear to be affected, including the iPhone 5, iPhone 5s (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-5s), iPhone 6 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-6), iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-6s), iPhone 6s Plus, iPad Air 2 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad), and iPad mini.

Apple has yet to comment on the matter, but some users have suggested turning off JavaScript under Settings > Safari > Advanced as a temporary solution. However, this will degrade your web browsing experience. Force closing Safari or other affected apps, or restarting the iPhone entirely, does **t appear to fix the problem.
The underlying cause of the problem remains unclear, but there is speculation that the Booking.com app (http://appshopper.com/travel/bookingcom-hotel-reservations) may be a contributing factor. Over the weekend, a Russian-language video was uploaded to YouTube that demonstrates how Safari links become unresponsive on iPad Air 2 after the popular travel app was installed.
In the meantime, some users have resorted to using Puffin (http://appshopper.com/utilities/puffin), iCab (http://appshopper.com/utilities/icab-mobile-web-browser), or select other third-party web browsers to bypass the web links issue. An online support representative seemingly confirmed that Apple engineers are aware of the issue (https://discussions.apple.com/message/29978618#29978618), and this article will be updated with new information as it becomes available.
