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 been having the same problem on both the iPhone 12 and 13. I went through all the keyboard settings and changed the Haptic Touch from “fast” to “slow”. It is in settings>accessibility>touch>Haptic Touch.


Ever since I made that change it doesn’t switch to numbers while I am typing.

There are enough people here for an important complaint, yet Apple is not doing anything. What is this forum actually for? What happened to Apples integrity? You are acting more and more like an airline company.


I have been a faithful Apple customer for 15 years and the only time that there was an issue (Mac Book 2011), Apple reimbursed us who had a failed product a little money for the trouble. Did not fix the issue but it was better than nothing. Does the company not take responsibility for issues with keyboards anymore? Both appointments at the Genius Bar that I had were negligent, and tried to get rid of the problem by saying it's a software issue but couldn't help passed that point. Now every time I have to type my messages, every single time they are full of typos, and I have to correct as I go. A message that would take 2 second takes 30, and so forth.


Software problem...How about you Fix the keyboard problem so that the "software problem" is no longer affecting the keyboard?

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
