iOS 7 Freezing While typing

Hi ...

Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Then restart your iPhone and try typing.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.

No data is lost due to a reset. I should have mentioned that before 🙂

I've had the same problem and after resetting all settings and setting a numerical passcode, things worked fine. When I changed the passcode to a alphanumeric passcode again, the keyboard started freezing again. I reset all settings and have set a numerical passcode for now. It does look like there is a bug in the passcode module of iOS 7 😟

I am having the same problem on the iPhone 5. Freezing when I type, I have to restart the phone but then it just does it again as soon as I start typing.

Do you use an alphanumeric passcode? If so, try resetting all your settings and then set the new passcode as numbers alone. This solved the problem for me. It's not a solution for sure but the workaround helped with my iPhone 5

Thank you! I had the same problem and this fixed it..🙂

Hi,

I also have the same problem in my iphone 4S. when i reset all settings, that issue was fixed. But it started again when i set the Wifi password .. its really annoying and i cant even type a single word properly.

something is fishy with ios7 password module.. !!

Goto Setting->iCloud->Documents and Data and disable it.

No more frikkin lags now!!!

That's a bad workaround don't you think?

Resetting helps until I set a numirical password again.... I hope there is antother fix!

After an iPad mini update, I too experienced the keyboard freeze. It was particularly anoying as I could not type in my passcode and my iPad became "DISABLED". A reboot and patience got me in again. I found that I had to wait about seven seconds after hitting each passcode key. As soon as I got to "settings", I had to totally disable the passcode. That *****, but it's a temporary work-around to allow me to simply use the iPad.

The recommended solutions so far sound convoluted and unrelated to the problem (an IOS 7 bug that needs to be fixed by Apple in an update). Does it make sense to blow away ALL settings or disable use of iCloud (no offense intended)? I look forward to someone discovering a lasting fix or will wait for Apple to provide a remedy.

Now I just have to figure out how to fix the ridiculous "unread emails" count ...

Thanks you solved my problem!!! I can now type letter by letter instead of typing a sentance and waiting for it to appear on the screen.

I have the same problem, but when I try to reset the settings, it asks for a restrictions passcode. I have never set a restrictions passcode. I searched re: this issue and read somewhere that sometimes after an ios update that the update can set a restrictions passcode and that using 1234 should work. It didn't. If anyone has any other ideas of how to get around the resriction passcode, I would appreciate it! I should mention I have a iphone 4 in case it's relevant.
