IOS 11 Keyboard lag

I’ve also done this however it hasn’t corrected the issue. I’ve tried to restore back to iOS 10 but this also fails. Not sure what to do from here but I’m completely unsatisfied with Apple these days. It’s a shame

The only thing that helped me is:

Install a third party keyboard (I really like GBoard) and put that in your keyboard settings as the ONLY keyboard. Now everything is running pretty smooth on my SE again.

Cheers

I have the same problem

I just tap on return and it lags and I dont know why

I use WhatsApp and it’s lagging a lot

Like I know

I have a lot of storage available even if I have so many pictures in my gallery but I don’t know why it’s acting like this

I have this iPhone for like a yea.

It was working very good back then but know it’s something changed

Plus I have the latest iOS 11.2.5

I've had this problem on my iPhone SE since around November (2017).

None of the recent updates nor suggestions in this thread solved the issue (including full restore).

However, I recently found I was experiencing other issues: the contacts app would drop out if I tried to view any contacts starting from 'M' and the Wallet app would drop out if I tried to add another card.

So, I went to Settings => AppleID, iCloud => iCloud and turned off 'Apps Using iCloud' for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Wallet. It pops up warnings, and I selected 'Keep On iPhone' for all those.

I then found I could view (the now fewer) contacts I had. I returned to the settings and toggled all the iCloud apps back on, and everything re-appeared: but now I can view them without it dropping out. Also, the Wallet no longer drops out.

I then went to check out sending messages (email, etc) and the keyboard lag is no longer present either. It seems to me that something got corrupted between the iPhone and the iCloud servers, and this has managed to reset it.

I've been having this problem for months now, it's switching between contacts, keypad and dialing a number out which is really lagging. Read through the comments on here and tried a few. Just found that in iCloud, turning off photos has made a huge difference. I do have a lot of photos, but only had My Photo Stream turned on, Library and Sharing were already off. Made a miraculous improvement. 🙂

Hello!

How are you? I also have this problem. However, it seems to be worse in the morning than it is in the evening. It also seems really touchy and will double type letters, numbers, space, etc. I turned my iPad Air 2 off and on which helped some but the problem hasn’t gone away. It is obvious from the posts that this has been an issue for quite awhile. When is Apple going to fix it?

Have a great day!

Same problem. IPhone 6 with A LOT OF LAG since upgrading to iOs11. Made a backup, restored, reinstalled, and still the lag persists. It's really annoying and I'm loosing my confidence in this company.

Hi everyone,

after switching to the iPhone X and possibly after updating to iOS 11, I have experienced these random keyboard lags almost every day. It is totally annoying, since we talk about a smart phone for over 1300€ (- German price, i.e., approx 1500$).

A restart always helps for a little while but latest after one day heavy lagging starts again. I am very astonished that this has not been fixed yet. I tried the fix with removing textinput from the backup list but I am not very confident that it will help (at least immediately after i did that, the problem occurred again).
Maybe switching to another software keyboard could help...

Best,

Martin

It's a shame that switching to SwiftKey keyboard solves the problem. You can type as fast as you can that the lag disappears. So many people working on a new operating system that is worse than the previous one.

Since this is Apple, you only have two choices two avoid performance issues:

1. Buy the latest Apple device, and repeat after every new iOS.

2. Switch to another brand. (that solved all my iPhone issues).

Otherwise you will have a device that will just get worse on every update, even if you believe that the new called new features should not slow down a device, it is known that Apple is capable and willing to slow down your device using software updates. If you are ok with that just keep buying devices every year, otherwise switch to another brand.

If you have performance issues with iOS most likely they will not be solved because looks like we belong to a minority and just exagerating things.

I am having the same problem. I had to ores 6 times to engage the “me too” box! Also, to hit “reply.” Very annoying. I spent over $1300 on this iPhone X and there are SEVERAL features that are pretty sucky. Steve Jobs never would have let it, or the Airpids, our the door! Think I’m going to dump my stock. I hate writing bad things because I have the stock but there’s a reason it’s not valuing well right now.

Unfortunately, your suggested workaround didn't seem to change anything on my iPhone 7 running iOS 11.2.6, the texting is still delayed, and so is swiping from screen to screen... tasks are sluggish.

Please let us know what settings you mess around with that fixes it for you? Turn imessage off for a while.... Turn dictation off... TUrn off contact photos in messages... Mess around and tell us what you find makes it better.

Ok, at the suggestion of many people on here, I bought a used iphone 6s (2 gig of ram, 128 gig ($225) and now the phone runs as fast as my iphone 6 did on ios 9, actually it's much QUICKER! Unreal. What crazy is, iphone 6 has 1 gig of ram, iphone 6s has 2 gig, iphone 7 2 gig, iphone 8 2 gig, and iphone x has 3 gig. All the difference was in the ram! Also, 6s adds 3D touch, and adds the raise to wake feature, not on the 6, that works great with "hey siri".

So, if you have an iphone 6 on ios 11, get a used iphone 6s for cheap and the phone will FLY!

(some things I noticed with the 6s vs 6 is the vibrate isn't as strong, I'm assuming apple may have changed the vibration to be less than the 6, which was crazy loud)

Aargh, has been driving me insane, I’ve nearly thrown the iPad Pro out the window. It seemed to start when I was trying to use the iPad while it was charging, although then it continued even after unplugging it. It got to a point where I just couldn’t use it, it took forever to type anything.

For now I seem to have a solution, and it’s one of the basic ones. I just reset all settings, in the standard way. All the typing latency/lag has gone, it’s smoking fast now. Hopefully it stays that way.
