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

I am having the same issue (iOS 14.0.1, iPhone X, 256 GB). The keyboard lags, especially when switching from one app to iMessage. I’ve done a reset, and it seems to fix it temporarily, but then the lag comes back.


This is exceptionally frustrating, especially given the fact that the keyboard is such an integral part of the iPhone.


This is a communication tool, and the primary means of communication is glitchy. This needs attention, ASAP.

Same on AppleTV. Had to remove YouTube and reinstall just to get it to scroll. I’m not updating to 14.0.1 who knows what that will go wrong. Agree that we pay hundreds of dollars for the AppleTV and thousand for phones. Sad part I was showing off the AppleTV to a firetv user and they giggled and sad you can tell it’s an Apple product. Please fix.

Honestly- Apple should be beyond embarrassed by this release. How do you release your big software update and let this slip through? Messages is literally the single most used app by I would say 99% of people, and it seems like almost everybody(no matter which phone they have, I have the 11 pro max) has this horrible lag when typing messages? Considering people were reporting this in beta, how could this POSSIBLY be released without fixing, and then go this long without an update? I just don’t see how it’s acceptable and really shameful moment for Apple. Amateur hour for the most valuable company in the world- get it together guys if you want to stay on top.

Well ****. I was hoping to find a fix in this thread but I guess I’ll keep an eye on it in case anyone finds one. Someone at Apple really screwed the pooch on this one, letting it get through beta and all. They need to fix this ASAP. I rely on my phone to communicate with my husband when either of us is working, and to be reached whenever an issue occurs at work of my boss needs to contact me and this **** lag is making it difficult.

We shouldn’t be looking for fixes on the lagging issue or removing apps, Apple send out the update and it screwed everything up, no Apple needs to fix it with another update, I don’t understand what’s the delay with Apple since thousands of people are complaining about the same thing and they’re not doing anything about, these iPhones are expensive, there shouldn’t be any issues with the operating system, that’s why Apple loses a lot of people to Android, Apple wake the **** up!
