Hi PierreRabbit,
For help with adding accents to letter, be sure to follow the steps below found in the article here: Type with the onscreen keyboard on iPhone
"Enter accented letters or other characters while typing
While typing, touch and hold the letter, number, or symbol on the keyboard that’s related to the character you want.
For example, to enter é, touch and hold the e key, then slide to choose a variant.
You can also do any of the following:
- On a Thai keyboard: To choose native numbers, touch and hold the related Arabic number.
- On a Chinese, Japanese, or Arabic keyboard: Tap a suggested character or candidate at the top of the keyboard to enter it, or swipe left to see more candidates.
Note: To view the full candidate list, tap the up arrow on the right. To return to the short list, tap the down arrow."
There's also an update available for your iPhone. Once you have a backup, update with the steps here: Update iOS on iPhone
If the issue continues and you're sure your keyboard settings are correct, reach out to Apple Support directly to further assist. Change the language and region on iPhone
