This has been very frustrating. Another issue I often have is iOS doubling a word when I only typed it once.

Anecdotally, this seemed to start around the time Apple released the auto-complete bar above the keyboard. Normal typing got notable worse with that update and has seemed to get worse over time after that. I found it easier to type on the 1.0 software than I do today.

I find myself using voice to enter text more these days, which is not my preferred method. It’s just what happens when I get so fed up with keyboard issues.

    When a friend sent this to me I thought that was what the video was about. There's clearly some weird autocomplete bugs not documented in the video. I'm going to try turning off predictive text in settings to see if that fixes the issue.

I haven't had time to test it but some people in the yt comments claim turning off swipe to type fixes this.
