iPad selects & erases text while I type

This happens all the time.

Single words, sentences, whole paragraphs, get highlighted and deleted very randomly.

Hello nevogel,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We're happy to look into this with you.


To help work out a solution, we need to know if this only happens in a specific app, or it occurs in all apps on your device. Also, are you using the on-screen keyboard or an external one?


There are a couple of actions that might be helpful for the behavior you're experiencing:


  1. Restart your iPad - Apple Support
  2. Install iPadOS updates (be sure to back up first) - Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
  3. Remove any screen protectors or cases from your device to see if that is the cause.
  4. Install updates to apps if any are available - How to manually update apps on your Apple device - Apple Support


Best regards.
