Why is my JavaScript not working on my iPhone?

Answered by Ricardo McCardle

I had a similar issue with my iPhone where the JavaScript was not working on certain websites in the Safari browser. It was quite frustrating because many websites rely on JavaScript to function properly.

After some research, I found out that JavaScript is typically enabled by default on iPhones. However, it is possible that it may have been disabled at some point. So, the first thing I did was check the settings on my iPhone.

To enable JavaScript, I opened the Settings app on my iPhone and scrolled down to find the Safari option. I tapped on it and then selected “Advanced” from the list of options. In the Advanced settings, I found the option to enable JavaScript.

I made sure that the JavaScript button was swiped to the right so that it appeared green. This indicates that JavaScript is enabled on the Safari browser of my iPhone. After enabling JavaScript, I went back to the Safari browser and tested it on websites that were previously not working properly.

To my relief, the websites now appeared to be functioning correctly with all their JavaScript features working as intended. It was a simple fix, but it made a huge difference in my browsing experience on my iPhone.

If you are facing issues with JavaScript not working on your iPhone’s Safari browser, it is worth checking the settings to ensure that JavaScript is enabled. By going into the Settings app, selecting Safari, and then Advanced, you can swipe the JavaScript button to the right to enable it. This should resolve most issues related to JavaScript not working on your iPhone.
