Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

When I type into a text message, double letters appear, periods appear within sentence. it is very erratic.

Since yesterday every time I try to type a text message, letters appear twice, periods appear after each word and the functiionality seems very unstable. not sure why, i have plenty of memory available.

iOS 6.1.3

Hello tennisgal2013,


It would impossible to write a text message with the behavior you are experiencing in Messages on your iPhone, so I definitely understand your concern with this issue. I'm not sure if you have tried this, but I recommend first trying to restart your iPhone and then a reset if the restart doesn't work:

If the issue persists after the reset, I recommend restoring your iPhone. You can find steps for backing up and restoring your iPhone in the following links:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.


Best,
