Typing lag in Notes app on iOS 14
Ever since I updated my phone whenever I type in notes my keyboard is very laggy and slow. It’s never happened before. Any solution??

I just found a fix that worked for me! Supposedly the custom dictionary in iOS/iPadOS 14 isn’t compatible with the one from previous OS’s, and resetting the keyboard dictionary might reduce or eliminate the keyboard lag problem. I was doubtful at first, but I went ahead and reset my dictionary, and INSTANTLY the lag problem disappeared!
To do this, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary.
Another potential fix that might work for some of you is force-restarting your device. The steps for doing this is different depending on which iPhone/iPad you’re using, but it usually involves pressing and holding all the buttons on your device at once until the Apple logo appears. It didn’t work for me, but it might work for someone.
Thought mine was broken
Well the next update (14.1) didn’t address the issue. iPhone X is just updated to 14.1 and still terribly unresponsive in Notes :(
Yeah they really screwed up the keyboard for iPhone X with iOS 14. The lag is terrible. I don’t know how this made it past their quality assurance process... embarrassingly bad.
So you had to turn off iCloud backup to fix it? I’m not willing to do that, I need my stuff backed up to the cloud.
I had that problem on XS already in iOS 13. It’s almost impossible to write notes.
Yes! Thank you it was becoming a big annoying Problem!!!
I reset the keyboard dictionary and it helped for me. Settings/General/Reset/Reset Keyboard Dictionary
So I reset my dictionary and it helped a bit.
Settings > general > reset > reset keyboard dictionary
Same on iPhone 7.
I tried the “resetting my dictionary” tactic, but it made it worse in my case. Thankfully it hasn’t leaked to Messages or anything else.
I haved figured that the lag is at the end of big notes. Big is approx 10 A4 sides in Pages.
No, not on low power mode; also it happens randomly. Noticed it after the new update ( version 14.0 and 14.1)
Thanks, this worked. I was having trouble with notes, typing a search into Safari, everything with the keyboard full stop. Thank you.
The lag in iOS 14 Notes is awful to the point of being unusable! Does Apple not have a quality assurance team anymore or something? This is embarrassingly bad.
Yeah, I was hoping in the next update they fix this lagging text problem. Can type out a whole sentence and it’ll be blank THEN after typing it types it out?? Weird
