iOS 8.3 just screwed up my keyboard

SAme here

I find there's general lag when using iOS 8.3 on iPhone 6. it's like the keys get stuck... which could normal when you have a physical keyboard. I guess iOS 8.3.1 will be forthcoming.

How would one get added to iOS (external beta) to help prevent this in the future? I was hoping that by being an external tester for OS X would automatically enrol me 😟

Same here ; \ Need a minimum of 5 mins to write a message. Hope this will be fixed soon!!

try to hard reset the device pressing the home button and power button at the same time, until the apple logo appear in the screen.

I did reset my device at least 3 times with no noticeable improvement. Interestingly, I left it on the charger all night and woke up this morning - all negative symptoms have disappeared. Not sure what it did in the background overnight, but it has resolved my issue. I did delete / reinstall any 3rd Party keyboard I had defined and tried both to hide and show the next word suggester, none of which seemed to help at the time. Good news is that it's resolved now.

Thanks,

Bill

I've encountered the same issue the only fix i've found is to restore the iPhone without restoring the backup. However restoring from an back up from a day ago elevate the issue for 3 hours then it came back. Issue is being caused by something in the IOS 8.3 update and settings/software on the phone. Hopefully Apple releases a new update soon to rectify the issue.

If you saw this immediately after updating, then the iPhone is probably busy finishing up the update and doing general post-reboot activities. If you install one of many free system monitoring apps available in the App Store, you will see that CPU usage is always very high for several minutes after a reboot. This would explain why Billjones270 no longer saw the issue after a night's sleep.

nope. no effect ; (

go to settings>iCloud>iCloud Drive and turn it off. Your keyboard should work and you can switch it back on and be good to go. If this helped follow me on Twitter and Instagram

Rebooting the phone (iPhone 6) and deleting the 3rd party keyboard (Nintype) app and re-installing it fixed my issue (for the moment). Fingers crossed!

Well, I don't have any third-party-keyboards but had tried rebooting and resetting hard without any effect.

Try rob1236's answer. This worked for me!

Same here. *** is apple doing with updates.

Its getting worse every update release. i cannt imagine how come they are letting this happen.

Yes, keyboard trouble here as well.

I have Japanese keyboards installed (Apple's, not 3rd party) and after 8.3 upgrade they've lost functionality - or at minimum, they don't work like they used to and I'm not finding the solution. For example, among other things, I'm not seeing any diacritics in the "kana" keyboard and not getting transliteration in the romaji keyboard. Haven't tested the standard English keyboard yet but Japanese is pretty much useless until I find a workaround.

I was having this too and the iCloud Drive fix above didn't work. I did realize though that it was related to using the filtering mode in accessibility settings to further dim my screen. If I disable this The keyboard is fine. Enable and keys stick like crazy. Might see if you have any accessibility view settings enabled.
