iOS 26 broke the keyboard on iPhones. „My typing immediately got worse”

by

The newest iPhone update is causing frustration for many users because of problems with the touch keyboard. People are reporting errors while typing, and it’s clear the issue isn’t due to user error – the system itself seems to be misinterpreting keystrokes.

The iOS 26 keyboard is malfunctioning

A YouTube user named Michi NekoMichi discovered a bug with the iPhone keyboard in iOS 26. The video they uploaded shows that the keyboard sometimes displays the wrong letters. For example, when the user presses ‘U’, the keyboard actually shows ‘J’, and pressing ‘M’ sometimes results in an ‘N’ appearing on the screen.

The YouTuber initially thought the error was caused by autocorrect or text prediction, but testing showed those weren’t the problem. Now, Michi NekoMichi believes it’s an issue with the operating system itself. Unfortunately, the only solution is to wait for Apple to release an update to fix it.

A recent video is going viral on social media, with many iPhone users saying it’s surprisingly relaxing to watch. A lot of people were worried their phones were broken or that they were having trouble typing. However, others point out this isn’t a new issue, and some iPhone users have been complaining about worsening keyboard performance for years.

Currently, you can try a few quick fixes if you’re having keyboard trouble: switch to a different keyboard app, reset your dictionary, or restart your device. However, Mac Observer notes that these are just temporary workarounds and won’t permanently solve the problem.
