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.

On top all you said, it has become so hard to try to insert a word between other words. It has become really annoying. I try to insert a word and it automatically selects the entire word before or after and I need to retype the word either before or after where I want to insert another word. It is really hard…

This isn't true.

Please read the comments before posting wrong answers. This will confuse people that got this problem and stumble across this site.


As stated many times before resetting the dictionary does not solve the issue. You will loose all your saved words. Then for a limited time the issue won't occur, but soon after you will experience the same again. Tested by many users here just to loose their saved words.


Also restarting, disabling other language or disabling the spell checking doesn't solve the issue since you are disabling functionality instead of solving the bug.


It is a bug in iOS and not a wrong setting, it happens since iOS 17 with the implementation of the new predictive text function. Apple messed something up there.


To really get someone from apple fixing the problem you got to report it here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Probably Apple won't even monitor this page.

It’s almost one month and you still didn’t fix this issue, even after the short update for this issue. I hope you will fix it asap as people are paying 1300$+ for these phones :).

You seem to be under the impression you are addressing Apple here? You're not. This is strictly a user to user only forum, which Apple doesn't actively participate in. If you want Apple to know you're having an issue, you can let them know using this link as they don't read here for user feedback --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Hi IVVladimir,


Thanks for posting. As we understand it, you're running into some iPhone performance issues specific to the keyboard. We'd like to help out.


To clarify one point, when you say you cleared the keyboard cache, are you referring to the "Reset Keyboard Settings" function?


Also, so we can narrow this down, are you finding this happens in a specific app, or all apps? If you haven't yet, you could test a few different apps like Messages, Mail, Notes or Pages.


If all apps are affected, this link has good general steps that could help If your iPhone or iPad is running slow.


Cheers.
