iPhone keyboard lagging after iOS 18 Update

Hello guys, I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and I've been suffering for the famous keyboard lag since I've updated to iOS 17 one year ago. In my case the problem starts to occur when I enable 2 languages on my keyboard (for me, Italian and English). I hoped that with the iOS 18 update and the introduction of the bilingual keyboard this bug would finally be fixed but sadly, that was not the case. I've tried every possible troubleshooting known for this issue, yesterday I've even reset my iPhone, but again, without success. Is someone experiencing the same issue even in iOS 18? And have you managed to fix this? Thank you.

Hello guys, I'm gonna share with you a little tip that might help you with this issue. If you go into Settings -> General -> Dictionary you will see the list of dictionaries enabled on your iPhone, in my case, 5 dictionaries were selected: Italian/English, 2 different English dictionaries, an Italian one and Apple Dictionary. I tried disabling the Italian/English one and one of the 2 English ones and the lag seems better on my device (not 100% gone but much better than before). I don't know if this will work also on your devices but you might give it a try, it doesn't seem to affect the keyboard prediction accuracy. I'll attach a screenshot of the settings page I'm talking about.
