So I’ve been using Brave browser for around five years now.

For some strange reason I constantly have a white screen flash every time I open a new tab which lasts for around one second or less on my iPhone 16.

This constantly happens and it’s been infuriating me so much that I’ve had to create an account here just so I can try to get some answers. I’ve seen various people posting the same thing for the last 4 to 5 years and I’m extremely confused as to why this issue hasn’t been fixed yet?

Especially in the evenings I open my Brave browser. I open a new tab or try to go to any website and I have an extremely bright white flash in my face. It’s so annoying that I have to turn my phone away from my face for a few seconds and then turn it back to look at the actual website. This happens every time I open the app on my phone and it also happens every time I open a new tab, if I close Brave browser and re open it each tab I open it happens on all of them again it’s very annoying.

I’ve been googling for answers about this on Reddit and all over the place and I’ve only found mods collecting information from people posting about it but this seems to still not be fixed for the last 4 to 5 years and it’s getting ridiculous.

If this doesn’t get fixed any time soon, I’ll stop using Brave browser for good. I’m really tired of this. How hard can it be to just make the Brave browser show at least a black or a grey loading screen instead of a bright white one every single time?

I doubt I’ll get any replies and/or a solution on this anyway, but it’s worth a try. Cheers!

Duplicate thread. Responded in original post:

> So this points to it potentially being an issue with your iOS device/device setup rather than Brave specifically. If you are seeing this white flash when Brave is closed and you try opening other apps, the issue is likely to do with the system itself. Can you confirm that, with the Brave browser app fully closed on your device, if you try to open other apps installed on your device you still see this white flash? Additionally, it looks like this particular issue has indeed been reported befor…
