IOS 16 Translation Bug

So apparently after updating to IOS 16, I had a few of issues about the system, everything seems ā€œlaggyā€. Hereā€™s one of the issue I had encounter whenever I use Apple Translate while typing or texting:

Whenever I press ā€˜Translateā€™, the text box pops up weirdly as shown in picture above.

Hi there rfflcm,


If Apple Translate isn't working as expected for you on your iPhone, let's start by making sure it's updated to the latest iOS version, which is iOS 16.0.2. You can check the installed version by going to Settings > General > About > Software Version. For more information about updating iPhone, have a look at this support article: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If you open the Translate app and try to translate the text directly from there instead of in a third-party app, like WhatsApp, does the issue persist? You'll want to be sure you're following these steps:


Translate text or your voice
1. Tap Translation, select the languages to translate between, then do any of the following:
Note: See Choose the languages you want to translate between.
- Tap ā€œEnter text,ā€ type a phrase, then tap Go.
- Tap the Listen button, then say a phrase.
2. When the translation is shown, do any of the following:
- Play the audio translation: Tap the Play button.
- Save the translation as a favorite: Tap the Favorite button.
- Look up a word in the dictionary: Tap the Dictionary button, then tap a word to see its definition.
- Show the translation to someone else: Tap the Enter Full Screen button.

Take care.
