Text duplication in Facebook on iPad Safari

I am having issues with the text duplication on my iPad. This happens with both predictive text and voice dictation.

The really interesting thing is that it only happens in Safari and only on the Facebook website, not in the app and only on my iPad, not on my iPhone.

I have tried all the different suggestions. I do not have voice control on, nothing seems to work, it’s been happening for months and it is driving me crazy.

I am currently dictating this and clearly I have no issues with duplication or predictive text repeating itself.

Does anyone have a fix that hasn’t already been suggested as none of them work.

Ensure that you have updated your iPad to iPadOS 17.3.1 - as this update has specific fixes for unexpected text duplication.

I did that update before I posted and tested it -see screenshot 3, so no, even though it was specifically for text duplication, it didn’t work.

i only have issues on iPad safari in facebook website. It doesn’t happen on my iPhone and I don’t get text duplication anywhere else. As well as duplication, predictive text also cuts short the occasional word and doesn’t work at all. 


Screenshot 1 - this is “using” predictive text. It “either” doesn’t work or it duplicates 


I am using predictive text and dictation on my iPad now and it works fine here and everywhere else, just not facebook website in safari, and yes, before anyone asks, Facebook is updated.
