A recent video suggests iPhone typing accuracy may have declined for some users.

Many iPhone users have reported an increase in typos, and they are not alone. An X post with a video highlights an iOS issue that erroneously enters the wrong letters while typing.

The social media post included video evidence of the problem, and a longer version was posted on YouTube with more details. Other iOS users quickly commented on the thread, sharing their relief that the issue was not isolated.

The original poster stated that the problem had been occurring since iOS 16. After recording their screen and slowing down the footage, the user recognized the severity of the issue.

Since a smartphone's keyboard is a critical tool, such a fundamental bug that actively introduces inaccurate information may cause frustration for users.

Some users in the thread speculated that the problem could be related to autocorrect or the swipe-to-type feature. These theories support the experiences of users who thought their typing skills had declined.

One user stated on X that the swipe typing feature may be the source of the problem. Other users shared similar sentiments, with one saying they thought they were "losing their mind," and another stating, "Thank God it wasn't just me."

As an Android user who is comfortable with Gboard, the author notes that their typing accuracy decreases when switching to an iPhone with the default Apple keyboard. The possibility of a bug affecting perceived accuracy is a revelation.

While a keyboard can feel different, it is another issue when it actively inputs the wrong keys. Given the widespread nature of this bug, Apple will probably have to address it. Updates regarding any official patches or statements about this issue will be monitored.
