iPhone keyboard lag iOS 14

I am having this same issue, but on my iPad anywhere I type more than a sentence. And it is not a slight lag. I hav to wait minutes in many cases for my typing to show up. Word, e-mails, even within a Remote Desktop. It must be something with iOS14. I’m going back to school while working and trying to use my iPad to write papers for school and remote in for work. It was working great until the iOS 14 update. The only work-around I’ve found is to ensure the application is closed down and no longer running in the background and restart. I have to do this every two sentences! Apple please fix!!! Is there a way to go back to the last iOS 13 release because the typing lag is to the point where I can no longer use my iPad.

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.

Can we stop with the wacko conspiracy theories? Do you know why Apple acknowledged that the slow-down was happening? Because they weren't doing anything nefarious. Ill-advised, sure, but they weren't slowing phones down just to get more money.

There were features that were introduced to newer iOS versions that were unstable with older phones. These features were disabled on older phones so that they didn't drain battery and bug out.

Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence.

Same thing man. I reset it so many times even wiped the device numerous times. Problem returns. I’ve been on 14.3 beta for two full days with no real lag. Now that I’ve jinxed myself let’s see when it occurs again lol

Hey all here’s a random thought...wonder if anything from the carrier had to do with it. Everyone so far in person I’ve met with the issue has Verizon except one guy who is on ATT First net who’s never seen the keyboard lag or the notification not sounding issue ever. But everyone else I know is Verizon. What’s everyone in here rocking? Mine is an unlocked 11 pro bought from apple, but I’m using it on Verizon. Hmm

Same here

It’s when the keyboard first opens up, especially in messages, if I start typing quickly, it’ll stop typing, then a few seconds later really quickly fill in what I’ve typed.

same, I can’t even call it slight. It’s a severe lag.

Same here. I get about a 3-4 second delay and then all the cached typing catches up. Annoying but not debilitating.

It started for me on iOS 14 beta one and has persisted through all the betas and all the updates since, including the stock 14.0.1 and the 14.2 beta.

I did also reset the Network Settings and rebooted the phone. I know it's irrelevant to typing but maybe it would work???

New beta update available this morning. Here’s hoping they fixed it

also present in official 14.1 version so wait with us

I’ve had the same issues with my XS Max, mainly with iMessage. I just tried resetting the keyboard dictionary & turned off the iCloud notes. I’ll be doing a hard restart as well.

Yep, does absolutely nothing to fix the lag, it's an iOS 14 issue, and it's really really bad.
