Apple recently launched the iOS 26.4 Release Candidate for developers and public beta testers. This update brings some essential improvements, especially for those who type quickly on their iPhones.
One significant change focuses on keyboard accuracy. The update addresses a bug that made it seem like letters were being tapped but weren’t actually inserted. This glitch disrupted the Auto-Correction feature, making typing frustrating for many users.
A glance at social media, particularly a Reddit thread from last month, reveals the frustration of many iPhone users who faced this issue. They reported frequent typing errors when in a hurry.
Interestingly, Apple had already introduced this keyboard tweak in an earlier iOS 26.4 beta, and users noted a positive difference. The official release of iOS 26.4 is expected later this month. It’ll be interesting to hear broader feedback on these keyboard improvements.
It’s worth noting that this update isn’t connected to a viral video that claimed the iOS keyboard was “broken.” In that instance, the user had Auto-Correction disabled and was using the QuickPath feature. The video showcased default behavior rather than a malfunction.
As more users update to iOS 26.4, it will be helpful to see if they encounter the same improvements in accuracy. Have you noticed any changes in your keyboard’s performance? Feel free to share!
