Terrible typing

Recently upgraded from iPhone 12 Pro to 15 Pro. Using iOS 17.0.3. Typing is a nightmare. The following occurs:

1) screen freezes in entering Txt, email, etc.

2) many taps are required to register a letter - randomly through time and the alphabet.

3) when trying to edit a typed word, it may highlight a nearby word and won’t move beyond it; it freezes with the word selected; only choice is to delete the word and re-edit.


Any similar experiences?

iPhone 15 Pro

Hello 23NewYorker,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities about issues with your iPhone since iOS 17.0.3. You mentioned that your iPhone is updated, and this is occurring in multiple apps. Are all of the apps on your iPhone updated as well? You can manually check that using the steps found here: How to manually update apps on your Apple device - Apple Support


From your post, it sounds like this may have started after changing devices, is that right? If so, did you restore from an iCloud backup? This can help us to determine if the performance behavior may be due to the iPhone still attempting to restore data to the device. You can check that in Settings > Tap Account > iCloud Backup. If you see restoration is still in progress, we'd suggest plugging in your device and remaining connected to Wi-Fi as much as possible until the process completes.


If there isn't a restore in progress, and all of your apps are updated, reach out to Apple directly to look into this further using: Get Support


Thanks.
