If you have noticed anything strange with your your iPhone keyboardyou are not alone. There is nothing wrong with your mobile phone and you should not think that there is any problem with the touch screen: Looks like iOS 26 is to blame. What many thought was a writing oversight is now a permanent bug that affects a significant number of users.
Problem? Some users report an error when detect letters pressed on iPhone keyboard: For example, you press U and the device activates another letter. There is also no specific pattern: happens by chance and with any of the keyboard symbols.
The error gets worse and is especially annoying when typing quickly on the iPhone keyboard, as many words no longer make sense or serious spelling errors are made. The curious thing is that it is not the adjacent key that is pressed, but a completely different one, which leads to a very annoying failure.
Many users interpreted this as a specific error or malfunction of their fingers when writing, but now, after a few weeks, they seem to have realized that it was not caused by them. but due to a glitch in the iPhone keyboard. User Neko Michi posted a video on X (Twitter) that shows the problem very well.
Apple has not commented on the faulty iPhone keyboard
Today, Apple remains silent and has not commented on this failure. Forums like Reddit or the same replies to a previous post show that this isn’t just happening to one iPhone model: the only connection is that all users reporting the problem they have iOS 26 installed.
This fact eliminated problems with the touch screen of new models, as well as failures in panel calibration: They only fail when using the keyboard and not in other applications or games.
For now we have to wait. And, although Apple has not commented, I hope the problem is already in your hands. A small patch in the next version of iOS 26 could solve this problem and turn everything into a small joke. In the meantime, be aware that you should carefully check what you type on your iPhone keyboard.
