Iphone Keyboard Problem Switching In & Out Of “123” keyboard

Hi, how do i stop my keyboard from switching randomly to “123” keyboard when typing in the “abc” keyboard?


I will be typing and it will randomly do it in every sentence i write and im not even close to the “123” button… example: hi h9w -4e yo7 it… it switches in and out. (This whole time typing i have been retyping things because its happening.


I have been having this issue with all previous iphones in the past and never figured it out but this is still happening on my new Iphone 13 Pro Max?! You’d think it wouldn’t happen especially now.


Please help because its soooooo annnoying 🥺

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

I have had this issue through three phones and was about to lose my mind. I figured it out (at least for me).


I went to general/settings/keyboard/

Then I turned off both the "predictive" and the "slide to type" and it fixed it immediately.


Hope this helps as I totally get how frustrating it is.

That happens to me too on the iPhone 13 Pro Max ,but I thought it was me touching something, but is hard to know what you touched before it changes from letters to numbers, it’s really annoying and if Apple don’t do nothing about it they’ll be loosing a lot of customers and I’ll be the first one , you pay bib bucks to have a good and efficient phone , that issue make me waiste a lot of time , and time is money
