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…

I have this issue too, with both English and Vietnamese keyboard enabled. I have tried resetting the dictionary, restarting the phone etc. If someone could look into this, this would be great. There are many bilingual speakers out there who wish to talk to their friends and family and Apple can do better than this.


While typing this message, I have experienced this lag several times already. Once for more than 10 seconds, long enough for me to take a screenshot several times.

To say it simply I liked old keyboard in iOS 16 better but your problem I’ve not ‘had’yet’? ( I have updated to iOS 17.0.3 get that )But when you say you restart I ph is it just power off? I solve many problems with this way you may know about it- do this fast, punch in vol up then punch in vol down then hold in power off until you see the apple logo come on then let go wait for I ph prompt swipe up and put in pass code. This may work. If mistake is made just redo it. This hack has solved many of my issues. I do it a few times a day even though no problem is currently bothering me. I also use airplane mode a lot to also refresh ph every day. It’s like I ph hygiene!

I’ve gone through the b of 17.1 and it was there. Ran for a few days and then upgrade to 17.1GA and the lag disappeared at some point.


I did reset my keyboard dictionary and tried without dictation enabled but at some point in the last few days the problem was gone.


side note my iCloud account has enhanced security enabled with TFA and hardware keys.


but if were to make a suggestion, let it run a bit and see if your problem subsides.
