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…

Got the same problem on 2 different Phones.

My iPhone 13 Pro had this issue right after updating to iOS17. No matter which version, it was there till I sold it.

My new iPhone 15 has the same problem and it really frustrates me.

I paid over 1000€ for my new phone for getting lags like this.


Resetting the keyboard did not help and I’m also just using 1 Keyboard(German).

Same here. 17.0.3. iPhone 12 Max Pro.

I've reseted the keyboard settings, removed all the languages, kept only my native one, disabled predictive and that setting to swipe to write, basically i'm using a keyboard from 2002. Still there are moments when it's laggy.

I just gave up, I'm on a Gboard right now, working flawless, even tho, this keyboard hasn't seen any update in more than a year on App Store.

It's unbelievable for me that Gboard and SwiftKey are working perfectly on iOS, with tons of features, and the internal keyboard it's just rubbish. If I was a manager on the keyboard dept on Apple, I would have just deleted the whole project and start from scratch. It's all bad.
