iPhone keyboard lag iOS 14

Yep happens to me all the time now. Start typing a text and like the first 6-7 letters pause and then type all at once. I don't understand why we can fix the things that need addressing but yet we can add a bunch of useless things to the updates?

What’s that, deleting emoji keyboard? Im just trying now but I also deleted the English keyboard to just use gboard for a bit but I wanted to try to delete emoji first and see how that works. So if mine is fixed it’s either from deleting emoji keyboard or deleting the English keyboard and re adding it lol

Guys can anyone confirm what my findings are. That it's really only in iMessage and that it happens when getting banner notifications, and typically in threads that have pictures or videos in them? Like to get it to lag if I just send a bunch of pictures to someone with texts in between I'll notice typing lags down. And it will happen in WhatsApp but only when I get a banner notifications for iMessage. I think this is really am iMessage issue more so than keyboard but they work in conjunction bc I'm on gboard now and it won't lag at all

Ok I’m finally somewhat able to reproduce it. I sent someone a pic and got one reply. Every time I opened the thread my pic was there and every time I opened the thread and went to type, lag. I would back out and go into another thread without a pic recently and would type and it was fine. Back out go back to that first thread and the pic is still visible, lag

So I was on the beta version of ios14. Now they keep prompting me to download the non beta version. It’s annoying cause I don’t have any updates available to download even though I deleted the beta profile.

Still none. I was good for two days since installing 14.2 beta and then I went to unlock and text, and it lagged for a full sentence for about 5 full seconds before this pos caught up and The entire message came up. And now as I’m getting banner notifications for iMessage this pos is lagging wherever I’m typing, as it just lagged typing this when one popped up. Think it’s time to dump and sell this garbage phone. Apple is trash.

Just to try it again I did this. There's two English dictionaries and one Apple. I turned off all but one English. Still had a full five second lag when I sent a message and went to send another as the read reply waited to Show read. It's definitely linked to iMessage only so it's not Necessarily the keyboard. It's iMessage lagging ojt the keyboard which is exactly why we don’t see it happen in other apps UNLESS iMessage is getting a message in the background or something. Remember, they recoded iMessage in 14 to do that pinned messages crap so they tweaked the app and fucked it up and nobody is taking responsibility for it. Hence why apple is trash. 2 full release candidates in and there’s still a major bug that makes people want to whip these pos phones against a wall.

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.

Apple if you’re listening I just noticed something weird. I always caught out of the corner of my eye something in iMessage flashing on the screen real quick while typing causing a quick slowdown lag. I never knew what it was but I was able to kinda catch it. It looks almost like the “react” bar when you hold press and can react to a text with thumbs up down etc. as that popped on the screen real quick the typing lagged but it was gone within a millisecond. No idea why it popped up, I was mid typing.

I have been experiencing this lag with my keyboard since about iOS 10 or 11. Each update I hope it will address it. Alas, it deals with everything BUT that. I’m literally contemplating switching back to android. iPhones now are expensive and super glitchy. I switched to iPhone back with the 4 and fell in love. Now I might as well have an android again. Disappointed. This isn’t a new issue. There’s a thread back from like 2018. I’ve tried just about everything and there is only temporary relief then lags again. After this update, though it’s way worse. Uggggg

So this definitely is linked to iMessage. I was just going to type a second text in a row and it lagged hardcore and stopped lagging and everything appeared when the “delivered” word came up under it. But I did the whole turn off iMessage turn back on with FaceTime and literally right after a hard reboot as I was typing this, an iMessage came in and when the banner came up, it lagged while typing this.

Has Apple addressed this at all in any way anywhere(this forum, articles etc. )? We are on iOS 14.2 now and somehow this is still an issue? I’ve asked about 12 of my friends, and every single one has the issues. This is a massive bug that is impacting a huge audience- how is it possible Apple hasn’t fixed yet? It’s probably the most embarrassing lack of effort I’ve seen from Apple so far. iMessage is the most used app on the iPhone by far for most, and after months they can’t fix this or explain why they can’t fix. Next step is I’m going to call Apple and really let them hear my displeasure. If you want to sell $1600 phones, and not allow it to work correctly for months at a time, I want an explanation how a 2 trillion dollar company can’t address this in a timely manner. I’ve used every iPhone/software edition since inception and have never seen anything close to this in terms of a major bug not being fixed.

It’s been 2 days now and I haven’t experienced the keyboard lag since doing the keyboard dictionary reset, turning iMessage on and off, and hard reset. I used to get it at least twice a day before. We’ll see how it continues to go

Two days here since I turned off almost everything under location privacy. A couple stutters here and there but nothing crazy yet. Was waitin a few more days before I reported results but I watched a video on YouTube of these guys talking about everything to turn off on ios14 here : https://youtu.be/1Ptvz5SIZ4M

This did nothing BTW. Still trash. Time to sell this awful phone and buy a better Android who's

Keyboard hasn't lag since 2012. God gboard is so bad

On this phone compared to stock. But the lag seriously makes

Me

Throw this

Phone so rather than break it I think I'll just ditch it.
