Safari randomly signs me out of websites?

I am having an issue with my iPhone 16 since updating to iOS 26 (and it has persisted since the .1 update too).


I am signed into websites such as local news website and others sites. About once a week, or sometimes days in a row, I am signed out when I load the sites and have to sign back in.


It is affecting multiple sites and I have checked every setting and can’t see any issue.


I don’t have ‘block all cookies’ set in the settings either.


Is anyone else having this problem?

iPhone 16

Yes — this is a known bug in iOS 26 / 26.1, and a lot of people are seeing exactly what you’re describing:

  • Safari signs you out of websites randomly
  • Sites forget your login every few days
  • No obvious pattern
  • Cookies appear to be enabled
  • “Block All Cookies” is OFF
  • Issue started ONLY after updating to iOS 26

You’re not doing anything wrong. This is an iOS 26.x issue related to Safari’s new privacy engine and iCloud Keychain + Website Data sync.
