ios keyboard types the wrong letter

When I record myself in slow motion typing, it shows that I am typing one letter, though a different letter is typed. The glitch is undesirable for anyone fast at typing, and causes so many spelling mistakes, many of which occurred while typing about this problem.

iPhone 16, iOS 26

iPad Pro on-screen keyboard not typing shift characters Recently (presumably after an iOS update) my iPad Pro’s on-screen keyboard is malfunctioning. When I touch and hold a key that has a shift character (eg 7 has the shift character “&” on my UK keyboard) the & appears next to my finger, but when I release the key the 7 appears in the text. This is true for all keys showing a shift character. I’ve rebooted, and gone through the keyboard settings, but nothing seems to shift it - pun intended.
