See my comments on #9833

This can be reproduced with desktop Safari as well.

Here's an extremely simple isolated example: https://github.com/guigrpa/bug-report-nextjs-flicker (no dependencies apart from React and Next, latest versions of both).

Having the same issue here

Anyone knows exact reason why this happens??

it is because you swiped back the page before the page was rendered completely?

same issue.
it looks like having relation with user's swiping speed sometimes, but it's not sure.

above example, even though i add seven, fast swiping back to index page from data page makes a very short flickering.

Any ETA on when this will be worked on/fixed? Does anybody know of any temporary workarounds?

Any updates on this? I only have this issue on iPhones.

@dirkjf personally, the approach I went for was invalidating the snapshot of the page that webkit generates.
This line contains the conditions under which the snapshot will be generated when you swipe backwards/forwards to navigate.
So I created a hacky hook that I placed in _app in order to invalidate the snapshot as much as I could.

const useSnapshotInvalidation = (router: Router):void => {
    // Disable scroll retention for ios
    React.useEffect(() => {
        if (IOS() && history && history.scrollRestoration && history.scrollRestoration === 'auto') {
            history.scrollRestoration = 'manual';
        }
    }, [IOS() && history && history.scrollRestoration && history.scrollRestoration === 'auto']);
    
    const alternator = React.useRef<number>(0);
    // Scroll slightly and alternate between pages to always invalidate image snapshot.
    // See https://git.vtsmedia.com/vtsfans/web-frontend/-/issues/318 for explanation on this effect and the previous
    React.useEffect(() => {
        const slightScroll = (url: string) => {
            if (IOS() && excepmptPages.every(page => !url.includes(page))) {
                window.scrollTo({ left: 0, top: alternator.current });
                alternator.current = Number(!alternator.current);
            }
        };
    
        router.events.on('routeChangeComplete', slightScroll);
    
        return () => router.events.off('routeChangeComplete', slightScroll);
    }, []);
};

Any updates on that?

Same thing happens also with "getServerSideProps". Flickering happens only on IOS, on swipe, even with the "useSnapshotInvalidation" hack mentioned above by @TTiole. I still haven't found anything working for me.

"next": "^13.1.2"

Anybody has found a solution to this? The issue also appears when you try to implement modal close (via hash). The most annoying thing is not the flicker, but that in between frames while flickering it's showing Modal Close=>Model Open=>Modal close.

Using both slightScroll with alternator mentioned above and document.body.style.opacity switch, but the issue persists.

(on iOS both Chrome and Firefox also use Safari’s webkit browser engine, afaik.)

I hope someone from vercel explains the reason for this bug

I think this bug is because when you swipe back in Safari on iOS it uses a screenshot of the previous page during the transition but then Safari automatically refreshes the previous page once you get there.

Any updates? This doesn't seem to be a frequent issue so there must be a specific reason why this starts happening...

Same issue here, and it's very annoying for the users. Especially image flickering is hard on the eyes :/
