Google Chrome for iOS freezes, Users are advised to temporarily turn off automatic updates

Google Chrome launched a new version earlier this week, and the Chrome version 97.x has now arrived on all platforms, but on iOS, there is an abnormal situation of freezing. There have been many users complaining about this problem on Google forums and Reddit, the old version is not affected but the abnormality occurs after upgrading the recently released new version.

The test found that browsing any page after opening Google Chrome may trigger this problem. After the problem occurs, the application is directly stuck and you cannot click any options. Although you can kill Google Chrome and reopen it, the same problem still occurs, and this problem occurs intermittently and may automatically freeze at any time. After testing, some netizens found that clearing the Google Chrome cache can temporarily solve this problem, and it can be resumed after clearing all locally cached data.

Hidden Chrome Features
If the user has newly installed Google Chrome, this problem will not occur. If it is already installed and upgraded from an old version, it will freeze automatically. Therefore, if the browser data cannot be cleared normally, the user can try to delete Google Chrome and reinstall it, but the local data will also be deleted when removed. If the user does not log in to the Google account for synchronization, please save the data and historical records in advance, so as to avoid data loss after deletion, and the bookmarks cannot be recovered. In addition, if the user has not updated, they can temporarily turn off the automatic update function of the Apple App Store, and try to upgrade to the new version after Google fixes the problem.
