Since doing the iOS 17update no matter where I am typing a message. Text, Instagram, WhatsApp, or even making a note in notes, my phone will randomly close the window I am typing in and opening another of my opened app tabs.


while typing this message, it opened text messages and Instagram 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don't know which setting to even try fixing.


even if I swipe all my open apps closed it will open one. Never happened before this update

iPhone 11, iOS 17

I'm having the same issue - the phone thinks I'm trying to switch apps when I'm just typing. It's driving me crazy. I'm installing 17.1.1 right now to see if it stops. It's making my phone extremely frustrating to use.

I am SO glad to finally use the correct “search words” to find out I am not the only one! It has made me want to give Apple back my IPhone Pro Max! Good GRIEF and yes.. my screen “toggles” without my help. Whether I’m posting on FB, writing a txt… all of it! AND trying to get back to where I was so that I don’t lose what I’ve already typed!

Are you - by chance - left-handed? I am, and I think that has something to do with why it happens!
