The iOS 26.4 update that Apple plans to release as soon as next week includes improvements for the built-in iOS keyboard. In its notes for the software, Apple says iOS 26.4 offers "improved keyboard accuracy when typing quickly". There was a bug in iOS that caused some characters to be missed when a user was typing quickly. The character appeared to be tapped in the keyboard, but was ultimately not inserted.

    It’s been driving me insane for a while lol. Been using touchscreen phones since they first came out and I really never had any issues typing, iphone android or otherwise.

    Happen to be using IOS at the moment and something happened to it. I can barely make it through a sentence without ridiculous errors.

    I decided to actually watch my fingers one time instead of the text body, and intentionally stop the instant my finger made contact with the screen. I could literally see how my finger would be perfectly centered over the exact letter I wanted, yet a different letter I was not in physical contact with would be entered instead.

    Nothing is more infuriating than executing your task perfectly and having some unbaked software layer make random unnecessary changes
