iPhone keyboard lag iOS 14

Open the Settings app, go to General, and then Reset, which is at the bottom of the General screen. Then go to Reset Keyboard Dictionary, which is also at the bottom of the screen. Tap that and you'll be asked to enter your passcode. Note that this will delete any and all custom words you have entered on your keyboard

This worked for me.

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.

The option “predictive” text seems to lag some text input, especially whenever there are more than one keyboard installed on the iPhone.

Since I’ve upgraded from an iPhone 6s to a iPhone SE2, the keyboard seems to lag for 2-5 seconds, spewing out the keyboard buffer afterward.

Isolating the issue:

1/ I already did “Reset Keyboard Dictionary” which did not work at all for the Dutch keyboard.

2/ Turning off “Predictive” takes away the bug entirely, which isolates the problem to be only with predictive input.

3/ The problem is active with the phone connected -and- disconnected (airplane mode) from the internet, which isolates it to a local problem of the device.

4/ As soon as I use the Belgium (Dutch) keyboard, it starts to lag again, which isolates the problem towards the predictive input of international keyboards only.

5/ The bug is however not active when an alternative keyboard is in use (like GBoard) and when reverting to only one language in the keyboard settings available, like English (UK) in my case while typing in this report.

6/ Additionally, the keyboard does not put capital letters at the start of a sentence, which might be part of this bug. This was not with my previous device and my iPad 5th generation.

This problem seems to be reported through the discussion forums before, but without extensive research what exactly is causing the bug. This post has a temporary solution for this issue, including an extensive diagnosis of the problem at hand.

I didn’t get any lag at all using the English (UK) keyboard, which might point to the different languages available in the keyboard settings of iOS.

The problem is not reproducible on an iPad 5th generation, even after upgrading to the latest iOS v14.3, so it might be not in the iPad iOS.

With friendly regards,

Additionally:

The English (UK) seems not to have lag at all when I delete all other languages from the General / Keyboards / Keyboards menu.

solution: use only one language in General/Keyboards/Keyboards, in my case it works perfectly by only having English (UK) enabled. No lag afterwards anymore. I use an add-on keyboard for a secondary language.

Even when having two additional keyboard add-ons enabled, the English (UK) keyboard seems to work flawlessly without any lags-spikes. so it has to with the internal extra keyboards available in iOS 14.3

When I install Dutch (Belgium) additionally:

• the delay with English (UK) is between 1-3 seconds, so mostly ignorable.
• the delay with Dutch (Belgium) is between 4-10 seconds, so slightly irritating.

When I install Dutch (Netherlands) on top of the 2 languages:

• the delay with English (UK) is between 1-3 seconds, so mostly ignorable.
• the delay with Dutch (Belgium) and Dutch (Netherlands) is between 6-15seconds, so highly irritating.

As soon a second keyboard is installed, the lagspikes are noticeably high. I got a video recorded if any of the developers like to see the effect/lag on the keyboards.

Resetting the keyboard dictionary does not offer any solution for the extra keyboards installed and the 2 add-ons GBoard and Numerical do not have any lag at all.

Resetting the Keyboard dictionary solved this for me.

Settings>General>Reset>Reset Keyboard Dictionary

Found a solution, it resets your saved lingo though. Go to Settings> General> Reset (all the way at the bottom of the general page)> Reset keyboard dictionary.

stopped lagging instantly

Try resetting your keyboard dictionary under:

settings > general > reset > reset keyboard dictionary.

it seems to do the trick for me.

I would suggest update to the newest iOS (mine is 14.1), reset the keyboard dictionary, do a phone restart. See if that helps.

I have an 8+.

I had the same issue. First I tried resetting the keyboard dictionary as some have mentioned. It didn't work for me.

However I tried something else I found on Google. I disabled the Facetime and disabled iMessage. Restarted my Phone. Then re-enabled Facetime and iMessage and it seems to have stopped being laggy. So far so good.

Someone previously mentioned disabling FaceTime and iMessage then restarting your phone. When restarted enable the apps and you should no longer have a lagging keyboard. It worked for me so is worth a try.

Annoyingly thr only fix so far is changing keyboards. I'm using SwiftKey now. It's jot as good as the stock keyboard as you can probably tell in my typing but atleast there's no lag. Apple better get their **** together.

Well iOS 14.1 just came out last night, so far the lagging has stopped

Resetting the keyboard dictionary worked for me. Don’t know if it will last but it was immediate. Thanks for the suggestion!

same here, but when i turn off the autoFill Password in the key, it's will become normal!

hope this information will be help!

Here’s the fix I did for an Iphone X

go to General/Keyboards

Shut off autocorrect and predictive texting. They are processor hogs.
