Why Does Safari Keep Flagging Me as a Robot on My Phone?
Asked by

Lately, I've been facing an annoying issue where Safari on my phone constantly flags me as a robot during searches. I have to keep doing those image checks, like selecting all the pictures of bikes! I'm not using a VPN, so I'm wondering if there's a possibility that I have a virus on my phone or if it's due to my phone being outdated. This problem has been ongoing for about a month, and I really need a solution.

If you're on a large network, like at school or work, they might be blocking your connection because of high traffic from that IP address. Just a thought—this could be affecting your searches.

First, check if you have any unfamiliar apps or configurations in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management. Sometimes, malware or odd settings can cause these issues. Also, consider turning off iCloud Private Relay and checking your Safari extensions.
