Keyboard Issues

I’m a one finger typist. Occasionally I would get a number in my word instead of the letter I hit while using the screen keyboard. Now it’s happening many times in a paragraph.

Examples:

Typos

dir3ctly, 5he, du3,  #angry, hav3, 5o, th3, 5h3, yh3, l8ke, Watchin* 

i touch nothing else on the screen. Yet the faded number or symbol atop the letter shows in my text?

Any ideas?

Hi Duckway,



This is a keyboard feature called "Key Flicks". It was Released in iOS 11.


If You would like to turn these off you can go to: Settings>General>Keyboards>Enable Key Flicks


Hope this helps,
