Very very slowly in my iPhone

I should have closed the window.

Can YouTube links transport security risks, do you think?

Thanks all, aloha. I’ll check back during breaks. Appreciate it!

A little slowness on watching youtube is not unusual. Especially if you're not on WiFi and at the mercy of your cell service provider. Even with WiFi there are 101 ways for it to be slow.

Oh, are you sure it was a YouTube video? If it was an "animated gif" ... those can take forever to load and occasionally just fail.

4. How to reset Safari on iPhone ...

Ouch ... first thing to try is to blow away Safari and try again. If you have a home button:

- double click on the home button to bring up the list of apps that are active
- scroll to safari (horizontal scroll)
- swipe it up to kill it off

If that doesn't fix it, then I'd suggest going to the Settings application, scroll down
to 'Safari' and then "Clear History and Website Data" inside the Safari section. Of
course this will kill off your cookies so you get to login again everywhere. But it
should reset the problem with the weather channel.

Good luck!

Firefox Focus is a privacy browser that I use on my iPhone.

Give it a try for your video links.
