There is no issue, I have been using the iOS 26 Developer Beta for the last 5 weeks or so and I just started a new contact, tapped on "Add" to add a phone number and I was placed in the edit field and instead of the regular keyboard you are just presented with a keypad like when dialing a phone number. This I know was the same in iOS 18, what I can't remember is whether swiping up and down by default went to "Delete", but if it does, then all it takes is to turn the rotor to Characters and you can then swipe up and down and go character by character. Also, if you want to enter numbers in the official international format which means not simply adding a 10-digit phone number for North America like (123) 123-1234, but to include not just the country code 1, but +1, then you have to first tap the shift key to the left of the 0, then the 0 turns into the Plus symbol and you can tap it, then start with 1 or whatever other country code you may want to use. If you are entering a North American number, then the paranthesis around the area code and the dash after the first 3 digits of the 7-digit phone number is inserted automatically. And just in case this is different in iOS 18, in iOS 26 once you are in the edit field and enter some numbers and you want to go back character by character, fir me swiping up did so immediately and I did not have to make sure the rotor was turned to characters.

I am currently using the SE version 2022 iPhone. Today I tried entering a new contact on the Phone app. The keyboard method works great for the character fields: first and last name, e-mail and so on. But for the numerical characters in the actual phone number field, we're back to the way it was several years ago. There is no consistancy. Moving back and forth in the field with up/down single finger swipes is inconsistent as is the attempt to delete mistakes. After literally a half hour, I was able to enter one single phone contract. Has anyone else experienced this issue when entering numerical characters in the number field on the iPhone since recent major upgrades on the iPhone/Phgone app and if so , is there a trouble ticket registered with Apple accessibility? -- Signature: For a nation to admit it has done grievous wrongs and will strive to correct them for the betterment of all is no vice; For a nation to claim it has always been great, needs no improvement and to cling to its past achievements is no virtue! -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
