Enable JavaScript iPhone & iPad (Safari)

This guide will step you through the process of getting JavaScript enabled in Safari on an iPhone or iPad.

1. Open the "Settings" App

   The controls to reset Safari aren't actually inside Safari! They're in the Settings app.

   Go to your iPhone's Home Screen and tap the Settings app.

   

2. Scroll down to the "Safari" menu item and tap it

   Scroll the screen down until you see Safari, and then tap on it.

   

   Tapping on the Safari menu item will open up the settings screen for Safari.

3. Tap the "Advanced" menu item

   After you tap the Safari option, you'll then see a big list of settings relating to the Safari app. Scroll down to find the Advanced item - which will be right at the bottom of the list.

   Tapping this will display advanced settings for Safari.

   

4. Change the setting to enable JavaScript

   On the Advanced settings for Safari screen, you'll see a few options. Near the middle is the option for enabling or disabling JavaScript for Safari on your iPhone or iPad. To enable JavaScript, slide the switch to the right.
