iPhone 16 Pro Max keyboard issues

I just got my iphone 16 pro max and i am having the same issue. The delay is so noticeable. It’s frustrating. I switched from 14 pro and it’s was very smooth and i had ios 17 there. I am gonna update to 18.1 and see now. It’s not the screen protector

Ahhhh- what is going on!! The keyboard is soooo slow and unresponsive! And also shows silly autocorrect suggestions. And doesn’t let me double tap the incorrect word to select all and delete! My 13pro max never had this issue. Takes me ages to type things out - sort it out Apple!!!

here you go ! It’s semi fixed

Have an update been added? I can barely text on here!! 😡😡😡 Just got the phone today!

I’m having the same issue. In addition auto correct doesn’t work well. It doesn’t correct the simplest of words. The screen lag time is awful. I’m hoping they’ll have a fix soon!!! I’m super frustrated.

Typing on the 16 pro max is so frustrating that im thinking about returning my phone and going back to using my phone from 2021.

i dont have the time to correct or wait for the slow lagging delays.

heres a sentence tiy can tell shoukd be clearly corrected and even ghe “i” should be I

its a mess

i found that typing on iPhone 16 pro max is really frustrating. I keep on missing the spacebar and the delete key. I just keep on making a mistake and making words string. I also type very fast and this new iPhone 16 pro max makes it really frustrating to type on. SPACEBAR and BACKSPACE are really annoying.

i do a lot of typing on iPhone i just can’t seem to get over the fact that it seems I’m downgrading than upgrading from my previous iPhone.

i hope there will be updates to fix this

Hi Ashmin7! Thank you for the advice. I have noticed some improvement with the typing. Still having issues with spacebar and backspace though. I think it might also be placebo? I don’t know but i did just that, your advice and it seems to have somewhat worked.

hoping that Apple will address this issue as it is really annoying and affecting a lot of the iPhone users who use their phones most of the time in typing and composing emails and text messages.

thanks again. ☺️

There is something i found on YouTube. Somebody suggested deleting the keyboard and installing them again. I did just that and it somehow made it work. Try doing this and re-installing the English keyboard or whatever keyboard you use. It somewhat resolved the issue but not quite as fast as the previous iPhones that i owned before.

Me and my wife are having the same issue. The keyboard is annoyingly slow and also misses to type certain letters viz. 'i', 'o', 'space' etc. Not sure if we should return the phone and go back to iPhone 13 PM. That was so much better. My wife is also having issue navigating the apps. The back button or go to previous button is not working.

Sadly my friend, I’ve tried everything known to man to fix my keyboard. All the resets, all the disabling/enabling. Called apple support. There’s nothing they could do to fix the issue. I’m waiting for an update to come out at this point. Mines been doing the same thing since I got it. Apple support said that if all else fails I can take it in to the Apple Store and have one of the techs fully diagnose my phone. I have Apple warranty and care and what not, but apparently I can’t just trade my phone in for a new one either without paying next to full price for another. I’m playing the waiting game..

Same here.. got my phone 3 days ago and have been pretty disappointed with how slow is to type anything! I wonder if every user has this problem of only few unlucky ones like us.. so maybe there is still time to change for a good one from the factory because to use like this is just painful 🥲

Been experiencing the same issues with the iphone 16 I just got and from the looks of this forum Apple still have not done anything about it.

So I've resorted to redownloading my Google gboard app which I haven't used in years because at least that works the way I'm used to.

Hear that Apple? I'm left with no choice but to use a keyboard from Google your top competitor because the keyboard on your own iOS is so dysfunctional...
