Current version of iOS to date and fairly new phone migrated from iPhone XR.

Typing has gotten really slow. I thought it was my notes app (Agenda v19), but I realized it was happening everywhere and my phone is not slow.

I found some kind of an answer: reset keyboards predictive text dictionary and turned off predictive text. It’s a bit of a pain, but it works a little bit better now.

Anyone else have this problem? Any better fixes out there?
 
I’ve noticed typing slowdowns happen from time to time. Some possibilities:

  • phone is connected to dirty power supply
  • phone is overheating (especially if charging when on low battery or in direct sunlight)
  • Safari or chrome has too many tabs (my phone doesn’t like it if I have over 150 tabs)
  • a background process is hogging the phone.

Try a full power down and restart.

Try turning off background processes: settings / general / background app refresh. I turned this off entirely and still get notifications so I left it off.
