are you trolling? type it into the search bar and it does crash
But it clearly doesn’t reproduce across all devices/versions/settings with iOS Safari. Better repro steps needed.
* edit crazy typo
Is the person who wrote the tweet trolling? Probably not either.
But what type of iOS device do they have? Which version of iOS are they running? Which language and locale?
Those things matter. Other things that apparently shouldn't matter might matter as well: other apps installed or running, notification configuration, how many tabs they have open, whether they're connected via WiFi or 4G, etc.
We don't know any of that stuff. As GP said: better reproduction steps needed.
As it is this bug report is barely above the kind of "hurr durr it dern't work" support ticket that really pisses off everyone in my team, and indeed every support engineer, and software engineer I've ever worked with.
2) The very first thing any actual engineer on Apple's payroll ought to try to reproduce it will work (most recent official iOS, "happy path" settings that have Safari Suggestions turned on)
2) Yes, they will, but that won't necessarily repro the bug without knowing which type of device it's running on, so at the very least they might need to check several different devices, and even then other factors can come into play that go beyond basic device configuration.
I'm sure, given that this appears to affect at least a significant minority of users, that Apple will be all over it and will find a way to repro it in relatively short order. Yet, at the same time, it's obscure enough to have escaped their no doubt reasonably robust QA processes before release, so it may well be there are some wrinkles to reproduction that aren't immediately apparent.
People might. This one didn't even @ Apple. Jesus, HN (a sentiment the Tweet author has also expressed by now on the tweet thread, as they're apparently reading this and seeing y'all acting like this in public)

Twitter figured this out in like 30 minutes. It's Safari Suggestions on any recent iOS. This may not be the platonic ideal of a bug report but it's not a bug report and also it happens, by chance, to be entirely fine even if it were, because this is super-easy to figure out.
no, it really didn’t.
i’m on 16.1.1 with suggestions on and it does not crash.
... and what more? in US? On en-US language? Because it doesn't seem to be that universal.
I'm sorry to to be the one to break this to you -- you have only worked with bad engineers.
If you get a bug report like this, where some simple user action like typing three characters is causing client devices to crash, you better be more mad at your busted ass system than a sparse bug report.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to try to narrow it down here simply because the story sort of hinges on the magnitude here.
Apple developers should look at the stack trace that should either be sent automatically when it crashes (if privacy settings allow), or with a problem report sent from the device.
If this is a widespread issue, devs should have already gotten an automated alert.
