Multiple times over the last 3 days, I’m composing a text message and…the messages start deleting themselves, as it the backspace/delete button is stuck. I even put the phone down once and watched everything I had typed disappear as if I were deleting it, from the last words text back to the first. What in the world is happening?

iPhone SE, iOS 16
I’m finding when I add an emoji, such as a heart, after I type text, it erases the word that came before it. There’s just a wide open blank space. Incredibly frustrating!

Same thing here and I’m using an iPhone SE 3rd generation so it’s relatively new and I keep the auto updates on. It’s so frustrating because often times I struggle with the right words to say when dealing with important yet sensitive matters such as my marriage. I try and make sure that my texts are meaningful and to the point and sometimes this takes time for me.
I would suggest that you compose your texts in another app such as Notes. You can use the sharing button to easily move the completed text to Messages to send.

Pressing spacebar dint stop mine
Yes I have the same problem plus when you go to delete a couple of letters or a word it zooms back and deleted multiple sentences Thank goodness I saw most of these complaints before I updated my iPad so at least I can continue to use that properly.

Exactly!
This just happened to me commenting on Facebook. I had several paragraphs written, and all of a sudden, it starts just deleting itself, and I can’t stop it.
I got too many accounts
