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

Just when I thought it can’t get worst. I was typing something and the keyboard just froze. Few moments after it completely crashed.

After iOS 17.4.1 update I still have the same problem. Restart the iPhone helps temporarily.

Ive been using iphone for years and this keyboard problem is killing me right now, i have the top of the line of their new phones, iphone 15 pro max, and cant even use the keyboard properly, its not only annoying its stressful. I am never getting back to apple again after this one. The most basic thing to use isn’t even useful what a shame.

I guess Apple doesn't care much about everything that has been written here 😂

Thousands of people experiencing issues with such basic thing as keyboard and nothing has being said or done so far. What a great example of caring about loyal customers haha

Apple has a forum where the people can comment and discuss some topics about what is going on with some of their products, but I guess nobody from the company sees this. Since the issue persist, I would say 3 months already? Maybe 4?

I guess Steve would have been so angry for this.

Right now I’m on iOS 17.3.1 on iPhone 13pro Max, and now a couple days before the update I can say that there is a difference. Before the update was really bad. Maybe there could be an improvement in the smoothness, I will wait for that. Anyway it’s way better than it was, thankfully I have get rid of that huge lag on my keyboard. Though on my iPhone 11 even after the iOS 17.3.1 update it is still really bad, lagging and all those bad stuff. I am reading other comments, I think that on some devices the update worked, on others did not, and some devices had this problem, others did not, but for some the issue still persist and this is a bad thing. We hope APPLE will FIX IT!

thanks!!! This is the only thing that worked and it was driving me crazy. Everytime I typed the keyboard had major input lag but then I tried this and it fixed it. Again thanks so much!
