iPhone Keyboard Lag after iOS 17 Update

Hi!

After the iOS 17 update the keyboard typing experience is very unpleasant. I noticed the autocorrect feature is improved and available in many languages, but the keyboard has a major lag. After a sentence or two, the keys are not popping up, the prediction freezes and the text doesn't show up, even though I'm still typing. Few seconds later all the words I've been typing started to appear very fast and catch up again with my writing. I have already cleared the keyboard cache and restart the phone several times. iOS is up to date (17.0.2).

This is only one thing that's worst, there are many other aspect about the UI, but the keyboard one is the most upsetting.

I'm on iOS 17.1.2 and the issue persists

I've already tried reseting the keyboard dictionary, removing my secondary keyboard and since that didn't work, I even re installed IOS

The only thing that fixes the issue, as other persons have pointed out, is disabling predictive text and autocorrection

For me, autocorrection and predictive text is indispensable, so I installed google keyboard. It looks awful, but the typing experience is so much better

It is sad that a third party keyboard does it better than the apple one

I'm having this issue on an iphone 14 pro max running IOS 17.1.2 and the issue has been present since the first iOS 17 update

Not for me... in YouTube the problem is immediate, as soon as I start typing. I've tried mail, proton mail, notes, WhatsApp, Telegram as a test and no problems at all...

Nope. I have the same issue on an iPhone 15 pro. So it’s not just the older phones

Same for me and I can’t buy a new iPhone right now. 😡 iPhone 13 Pro Max is what I have. Takes me about 3 minutes to type a simple text

Mar 14, 2024 11:17 AM in response to AlexK94

Oh no AlexK94. A brand new (latest) phone and same issues. I hate this. My iPad is screwed up ( not that old) but I get a new iPad but I want me 13 pro max fixed or something

I'm on iOS 17.3.1. I'm experiencing the same issue. It sounds like an important problem that Apple isn't addressing.

The fact that you do not have this issue doesn’t indicate the issue doesn’t exist. Your comment is even less useful than mine.

Hey,

I am experiencing the same thing after getting ios 17 as well. Except it does not lag to much on my key board. Apple, please fix this, it is extremely irritating.

I am having the same problem since the update. This is very annoying as I use my phone quite often for business. I hope that Apple get this fixed immediately.

I have been experiencing the exactly same issue since 2023 December's update. I have reached Apple Support 2 times already. They cannot help.
