Keyboard lag when swiping down to search on iPhone 17 Pro

I'm currently having an issue where my keyboard takes about a second to show up when I swipe down to search.. I never experienced this on my iPhone 14 or 15 Pro Max.


Having a new iPhone 17 Pro using iOS 26, is anyone else experiencing this?


  • I have no third-party keyboards installed
  • I've rebooted the phone quite a few times
  • This has been a persistent problem, but since I turned on the iPhone and copied over all of my data from my previous phone.

  4. Proceed from there as necessary

"I’m having the same problem even after the update, on 17 pro as well. I’ve tried restarting my transfer from my old phone, freeing up storage, background apps, etc. Have not found a fix"

Lagging iPhone Swipe:

A. Start Here: If the Screen isn’t Working on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


B. Force Close All Apps:

An app may not be responding. So, close all apps. Hold you finger down on the Bottom-left cornet. As you swipe to the top-left corner, the apps will pop up. Then, close all of these open apps, by sweeping up quickly for all apps.


C. Clear Space:

System resources may be swollen up. So, clear space. See my two User Tips:
