Is anyone currently experiencing lag when typing within iMessage? It seems to happen every time I start typing a new message. Only occurs with the first ~3 letters and, once the lag catches up and those letters are typed, it returns to normal. I’m not sure if this is specific to me or possibly something associated with the new iOS 14 update.
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14
I spoke to an apple tech today. I explained to him about the issue with my Iphone 8 and the typing lag is still there on my Iphone 12. He told me it is a bug that transferred over when I transferred over my data from one phone to the next.
The FIX is to upload photos/contacts/messages to Icloud, do a factory reset, setup as a new phone and then download photos/contacts from iCloud, re download apps. Unfortunately that is the only solution they have found that works. Hope this helps!
I agree. paid alot for these phones to have some dumb crap like this suddenly outdate my phone, then to be patronized by a corporate employee whos sole job is to publish lies to betray even further telling us essentially we are crazy, its all in our heads, no? anyone else agree? who here despises fake reviews and coverups? funny how the cycle continues after about a year when your brand new phone stsrts acting up all the sudden right after the warrantee expires. time bomb programming called updates?
Its one post on a forum with millions of posts. I doubt my reply was some Apple conspiracy to gain your acceptance to an issue than a select few are experiencing. Rather just something that worked for me. Turn off Fox News for a second and think for yourself.
This post is blowing up, but people need to calm down with the corporate conspiracy BS, it's a glitch, error, fault. We should keep commenting so they fix it, but we all know its not intentional since it is on a range of devices (new and old) and iMessage is a core part of their sales strategy and often the reason we got the phones. calm down people, take off the tinfoil hats.
11-22-2020 and it’s still doing it. iPhone 11 Pro, a few months old. When starting to type a text message there is like a 1.5 second delay from when you start typing to when those 3-4 letters actually appear on the screen.
I like my tinfoil hat, its shiny! and helps keep the 1,2,3,4 G microwaves signals partially out, but even then, i think faraday cages are having trouble with 5G too.. need something better than tinfoil now. lol
something is only a conspiracy theory if its not true, otherwise its is a conspiracy.
to think a greedy corporation wouldnt sabatoge thier own customers devices is just wishful thinking, even nearly new ones, pretty sure apple knows about this issue and isnt doing a thing cept planning the next "update".. cant wait.. :(
i worked in automotive industry, why do people only assume automechanics are dirty? and i dont mean thier greesy hands !! lol
motto: fix one thing , break another , repeat customer for life!!
Iphone 12 is first with 5G in apple line, along with a new M1 chip and lidar? wow! talk about the devious misuse potential with the in the dark imaging capabilitiez of lidar, why do avg consumers need this?
does the 12 have this lag issue?
This is insane!! It’s driving me absolutely nuts. This should NOT be marked as solved. Apple has not developed a fix yet. I thought it was just my iPhone XS, although when I got the mini, it still happens. It’s so annoying!
I had an Iphone 8, that was having this issue and I assumed it was because I had an older model. I traded that in and upgraded to an Iphone 12 last week, and less than a week in, I am already having the same lag typing issue. Apple please send a real fix.
I’m having the same problem with my texting. Takes about 3 seconds for my letters appear in the text space.
Very frustrating and to top it off, I’ve only had this brand new XR iPhone for 1 year.
The problem is definitely not solved.
Good to know that’s an option, but I’ll wait for (hopefully) a fix. Also, I imagine there are plenty of us, myself included, who are having this problem but didn’t recently upgrade to a new phone. The bug presumably started with installing iOS 14.x, not from setting up a new phone from a backup. Still good info though.
Having the same issue with every conversation I reply to on my messaging app!
Really frustrating as I have to wait for the lag to catch up every time I type a new message. I have an iPhone XS with the latest software installed as of today's date (9th December 2020) so all up to date. No excuses!
Starting to do my head in now. Please fix this issue ASAP!
Cheers, Harry
I have the same issue. This is the reason I hate applying Apple updates. Somehow they seem to provide me with no new useful features and the ones I do use somehow get screwed up. :( Tell me, why did I apply iOS 14 again? Can someone at Apple please fix this annoying lag. Thanks.
I am also experiencing this issue. Another issue I’m experiencing is when someone else calls me. I can hear them, but they cannot hear me. I have to hang up and call them back. There are currently no updates for my phone to fix this issue....
I did nothing, any my lagging text problems disappeared on their own. No idea why.
I remember when Apple tested features ensuring they work properly before release. If we wanted ‘now it works, now it doesn’t, now it works again’ we’d all have Androids.
Has anyone figured it out? My iPhone 11 isn’t even a year old - the whole “your phone is old bla bla bla” argument won’t fly. iMessage is also the ONLY app the lag happens on. If it weren’t for COVID I would have already gone to the Genius Bar to force them to fix it in person. Any suggestions that will actually fix the problem would be very appreciated.
Apple isn’t even talking about the text lag!! It continues no matter what we do. Delete all texts, change settings, etc. The lag continues and it is now beyond just irritating! More so is Apple not even discussing it. They continue to ignore all
these posted discussions.
