Since iOS 26, I struggled with the iOS keyboard to the point it became unbearable. I was definitely not alone, as you can see here or read here.
But I found a solution. At least one that worked for me.
I deactivated all keyboard features. So:
- No Auto-Correction
- No Predicitve Text
- No Check Spelling
- No Show Math Results
- No Smart Punctuation
- No Slide to Type
- No "." Shortcut
- No Auto-Capitalization
- No Character Preview
- No Haptic Feedback
- No Sound
The only thing I left enabled was
- Enable Caps Lock
That's it. It 99% fixed the keyboard typing issues for me. Sure, I mistype words from time to time, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was before. Try it!
