Apple released iOS 9.3.1 on Thursday with a fix for a bug that was causing iPhones to freeze when users clicked on links within apps.
Users started reporting their iPhones were locking up when clicking on links within Safari, Chrome and Twitter almost immediately after Apple released iOS 9.3 a week ago.
