iPhone 16 Pro Max keyboard issues

I am also experiencing the keyboard unresponsiveness. When I type, my keyboard randomly switches to the numbers keyboard so I start typing numbers into my words and have to painstakingly edit each word. I went to the Apple Store where I bought my iPhone 16 Pro and they tried resetting the phone from an iCloud backup instead of from my old phone. We then tried again to reset the phone with a backup from my Mac. We then tried setting the phone up from scratch instead of from a backup. We tried replacing the screen protector and we tried without the screen protector. I was then given a replacement phone and we tried setting that one up from scratch. None of the above have worked as I am still having the same keyboard issue. I haven’t had the phone for long enough to have noticed other issues but I am really frustrated by the lack of a solution to my issue.

Yes I’m having the same issues here! At first I checked all the keyboard settings, still no improvement bcs I thought maybe it’s new iPhone and there are some changes with settings and nope!

My keyboard can’t keep up with how fast I am typing, lack of responsiveness (compare to my iphone 12 pro max) and I have to double tap more often to respond in the whole screen.

And today my first time I have my iPhone 16 pro max screen showed flickering with vertical rainbow stripes flash after I sent text and wanted to type again. I know and feel that there is definitely a problem with iPhone 16 pro max. Not as I expected as like new iPhone. I’m very disappointed. ☹️ 

Yes yes. Did notice that too. Sometimes i feel that when i type too fast the backspace won’t work or when i mistype something and i have to delete something the backspace doesn’t work quite well too. So disappointing from Apple. I hope they address this as this is one of the most important things for me to make work easier and more efficient for me.

the only downside for this when you use your iPhone mirroring, the keyboard won’t type properly using your laptop

I have this issue with the 16 pro max keyboard. When I try to type, it freezes, misses letters, takes long to respond. It’s been almost a month and it’s still a problem. Are you currently working on this?

Thank you.

The 18.0.1 update did not fix issues with unresponsiveness in the screen. Typing is horrendous. I have to click the screen harder/twice in order for the screen to respond. Even typing this out is a chore. I spent so much on this phone just to dread using it, and wishing I had my two year old phone back. Please, please fix this issue.

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.

I have the same issues. I’ve done some of the adjustments other people on this thread have suggested & it hasn’t helped much. I find myself talking into the phone if I have to send long messages. Making sure all of my friends know this issue before they purchase it & have the same problem I do.

I just upgraded for the iPhone 13 Pro Max with never having to look at the keyboard while typing. Now it seems like I have press very hard for my key presses to recognize the touch. While before I barely had to press to type - more like tap. Half the time the screen is not registering my touches. I’m on Verizon networking using a Zagg screen protector.

This is horrible experience and needs fixed because I can’t type quickly.

here you go ! It’s semi fixed

I was just trying this setting (seeting-keyboard and typing-key repeat toggle on make it 0.10 and 0.20. Make it little better.

I was having the same issue, and took the screen protector off and now it’s fine.

Exactly same problem! I hope a software solution arrives soon to all of us

I have same issue

I'm having the same problem. I’m wondering if it could be the screen protector? Is anyone having this issue without a screen protector?

i am having the same keyboard problem with my 16 pro max
