since I updated my phone the keyboard had a slight lag.

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
Just FYI I looked up what the dictionary does exactly. It has nothing to do with the keyboard. It’s literally the dictionary that if you long press a word or type in the search, it will define it. So this won’t fix anything.
I’ve had this keyboard lag in Messages on my Xs Max ever since updating to iOS 14. iOS 14.1 and iOS 14.2 also didn’t fix this issue. After reading several suggestions on this thread, here’s what I did and so far it has fixed it for me.
What I did:
It may be the placebo effect lol but I haven’t experienced it again so far. I’ll update here if it ever does happen again.
I’ve resorted to calling apple support. I’m waiting for a call back now. I suggest everybody here call apple support so they see this influx of issues with this and maybe the coders will actually fix it instead of adding useless updates nobody asked for.
Just to be clear Jayochs, developers don't decide what tickets to work on. Product/project managers/owners do. Those managers/owners are often influenced by their managers and C-level staff.
Devs get a bad rap too often.
Understood but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t each call in to let support know of our problems with their product that cost us $1200 in some cases. They should be made well aware and the more who do it, the better chance we have of a fix.
You know asanokatana you could just scroll on by. If you don’t have anything to say on the subject. Do not say anything.
By the way we don’t need to be told. You need to simmer down. It’s public and as many people who want to list their experience can. And should. So Apple will some day come out with a update that doesn't have millions of fixes after that update. Get a life dude
This keeps happening to me as well. Initially i just reset my keyboard in settings and it fixed it. But then two weeks later, it is happening again. I don’t want to keep resetting my keyboard every two weeks.
is there a more permanent solution?
easy answer - schedule, money and then performance - its why so many tech products go out the door and need patch fixes. if this type of lag happens with a car’s breaks. Yikes
hope they fix it as it is annoying.
It sounds like you have a different cause for the same symptom, but I wouldn’t tell people this doesn’t work. It clearly has for many people. I’ve also experienced the lag when I set up from backups. In fact, I don’t even use backups anymore when I set up new phones, for that reason. If you haven’t, start fresh. Big help with a lot of general system performance concerns.
Turn OFF auto-correction, (General -> Keyboards), goes away for me.
Comes back if I turn on, away again if I turn off. So if that's the same for other users (I'm 14.2 latest) iphone Xs, it's likely a dependency of that code is highly latent. HEY APPLE, what's the URL for git? I'll fix it for you... :)
I did this on Nov 27, and it’s still holding up. No problems.
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.
I tried to do the Keyboard Dictionary reset multiple times.
the thing that worked for me:
I uninstalled all the 3rd party keyboards. Like gif keyboard and etc. and reinstalled them.
Seems to have fixed it for now.
Same here
only in messages for me but 4-5 secs
Everything is lagging on iOS 14, typing, screen shots take a few seconds to show up, also lagging on the games
iPhone keyboard lag iOS 14
