DU and my IPhone...

Is there a reason why DU is unusable on my IPhone? It either freezes, loses the signal, and I can't read post. Only the headline.
This has been going on for a long time.

Maybe being a star member helps with the lag? MiniMe Aug 2023 #11

Use an alternate browser such as Brave Tetrachloride Aug 2023 #13

Also clearing cache & cookies, and periodically shutting off your phone may help.

It happens on various sites with advertising.

Solution is give a few dollars to DU and become a Star member. No more ads.

I have an iPhone 13. I normally read DU on a desktop. Many nights I get in bed and read DU on my iPhone. Like clockwork, it will always freeze and lose signal. I have to switch to Chrome to read DU. I have tried all the suggestions listed to remedy the situation, but nothing works.
