iPhone IOS 18 search “S” issue.

Just got done transferring from an iPhone 12 Pro to 16 Pro.


Noticed a bug when using the Home Screen search. The letter S seems to not be searchable.


If I type fast enough, the search functions normal. But if S is left for more than half a second, the search resets.


Anyone else have this issue? And know of a fix?


iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

This from Apple support:

We've updated a dictionary to resolve this issue. This dictionary should download automatically the next time you perform a system software update.


If you don’t want to wait for the next system software update, you should be able to manually trigger a download of the updated dictionary simply by navigating to “Settings > General > Dictionary”.


Once the updated dictionary is downloaded, this issue should no longer occur.
