iPhone Keyboard Lag after iOS 17 Update

I too have the same issue with the keyboard delays. I also have issue with how it always try to autocorrect to another language even though I have it set to English

Update: I suspect that lag happens because of the slide to type option, disabling it seems to help

Omg same I have iPhone 15 pro max with updated OS and the keyboard experience is infuriating I say “I hate this phone” about 80 times a day argh. So irritated!!! My friends new 15 is the same. $2500 for this phone, it’s more expensive than my laptop and I can’t even type properly lol rage!

This is the reason I’ll switch to Samsung back again. The experience of typping is awful.

I just upgraded from iPhone 11 to iPhone 15 pro max, my phone had the keyboard lag issue and after transferring to new phone the lag was gone for the first few hours. Once it came back I went to go look for a solution (not sure why I haven’t before now) and thanks to this forum I have found my solution at least, I went to keyboard settings and deleted all keyboards but the default even removed the emoji keyboard and then I added it back and that seems to have fixed my typing lag issues for now at least.

iOS 17.3 Installed, same problem, same disgusting lag, they simply ruined something very good and I don't think they are able to fix it in this iOS version, otherwise it would have been done by now.

Honestly I am looking to buy another phone that is still using iOS 16, I can’t believe what they’ve done. Clearly they don’t have the right developers anymore and things aren’t going well if they hired people that still can’t fix this.

I’m on iPhone 15 Pro Max with the latest 17.3.1 software and sometimes the keyboard becomes so laggy it feels like i am using an old android phone smh.

I’ve read other complains and this issue is going on for months now!!! Apple you need to fix thiss ASAP

p.s. i’m experiencing said lag as i’m typing this

Hi All. 👋

It is best to lodge our complaints in their Product Feedback - Apple.

This way, all of us does something to urge Apple to fix this bug.

Hello~ I am using my keyboard ( in fact several keyboards) to try and replicate this issue and I am not able to do so. Have you tried…

Also how is your device storage? Sometimes if storage is low it can cause a lag…

No one from Apple will see your request. This is a user to user only forum, which Apple doesn't participate.

Something is causing keyboard lag on your iPhone, but this is most certainly not an issue affecting everyone. I have no lag on our iPhone 15 Pro Max or 15 Pro. No one I know personally with an iPhone seems to have any keyboard lag.

If you want Apple to look into this, you need to let them know through this app --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

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.

I guess you're not aware of what this forum is. It's a user to user only forum, which Apple doesn't monitor for user comments, nor participate in at all.

You need to let Apple know you're having an issue with your keyboard (something I have absolutely no issue with on either our iPhone 15 Pro Max or 15 Pro, btw), by sending feedback here --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

This is hands down the WORST iOS update experience I’ve ever had in 10 years of owning iPhones. The keyboard is borderline unusable!!

Apple fix this please! I’m on a 12 it’s not that old jeez!

How do I disable/remove the standard IOS keyboard, give me the option since it sucks and doesn't work at all. The phone has become unusable when typing unless I use Gboard and the default keyboard keeps trying to reassert itself or default to it in certain apps. It's clear Apple refuses to acknowledge or fix this. Its gotten worse. Disabled everything and reset the dictionary. Super annoying the default old correction method its not even clear if you select the suggestion or not and which it applies is not even intuitive. You click the suggestion and it leaves the error, you click pass and leave it as is, it puts in the correction.

Hello ! I think i found the solution.

I jsut changed my old phone with a new iphone 15pro today hoping that in this way i will solve the problem but when i tried to type o found out that problem persist. So, i did the next think:

I reset the keyboard dictionary and after that it worked perfectly.

You can try!

Good luck!
