How to fix ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS on Google Chrome (iOS)

The web browser is far more complex than it seems. It's made of tasks and processes working together to enable you to browse the Internet. Sometimes, one of those processes can get stuck, and lead to this error. In most instances, closing the web browser, and reopening it, is the best way to fix ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error, as all the tasks and processes will be restarted.

Close the browser and open it again after 2 minutes. If closing and reopening the web browser didn't work, and you still get the error message, feel free to check out the other solutions.

Incorrect time and date settings can cause the ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error, causing confusion between your device and the server(s) where the website(s) is/are hosted. If this is the case, all you need to do is to set the correct time and date on your device and try visiting the website again.

If you are not sure where to find the date and time settings, feel free to check out the how to set the time and date guide.

Maybe the real reason is the website you are trying to visit, i.e. the website owners experience technical difficulties with it. If you can't open the website, wait for a couple of minutes and then try again, by pressing the reload button.

Note: If waiting didn't help, you might want to contact the owner(s) of the website, which might not be aware of the issue.

An update a day keeps the bugs away. An outdated version of Google Chrome might be responsible for many errors, one of them being this error. Check if there is an update available for your browser and update to it.

Corrupt cookies and cached data in Google Chrome can be another reason why this error occurs. Even though their initial purpose is to make web browsing faster and smoother, when they get corrupt, they cause nothing but trouble. The reasons why cached data and cookies get corrupt are far and wide, including viruses, updates to the web browser and the operating system, antivirus software, and more. 

In order to fix this error code, you need to clear the cache files, the cookies and unnecessary data. Once you clear them, open the web browser and try to access the website again.

There is a small chance that you misspelled the website, and ran into a website that doesn't do redirects properly, causing this error to occur. For example, if you accidentally type https://googglee.com you won't be redirected to https://google.com. Also, it is possible that the website you are trying to visit switched from http:// to https:// (which is a good thing, as https:// is secure) and the website's administrators forgot to apply a redirect.

Make sure to type carefully and double-check what you typed, to ensure that you won't run into this error. If a misspelled URL was the cause of this issue, you can contact the administrators and let them know of your revelation.
