Subject: How to Fix the Keyboard Typing Lag with iOS 7 on Older Devices
Some users have noticed that certain older iPhone and iPad models
feel slower after updating to iOS 7. We’ve offered a variety of tips to speed
things up, but one persistent issue that has we’ve been contacted about
regards the mysterious keyboard lag and typing delay that seems to only apply
to older devices, where there is a sizable delay between tapping a key and the
character appearing on screen.
The exact reason for the typing lag is difficult to determine, but a
commonality is that these devices have been updated to iOS 7 from previous iOS
versions, which could suggest some old outdated settings are turning the
keyboard sluggish. Rather than doing a complete restore and clean install of
iOS 7 though, a resolution that has worked fairly well is simply choosing to
reset all settings on the device:
a.. Open Settings and go to “Generalâ€
b.. Choose “Reset†and then select “Reset All Settings†–
confirm the reset twice when asked, you will also need to enter a passcode if
one is set
The iOS device will reboot and show a progress bar indicator as all
settings on the device are trashed and reset to defaults. When finished, the
device will boot up as normal again.
This dumps all customizations and settings to iOS, meaning you’ll
need to do things like bold the font, set your wallpaper, rejoin wi-fi
networks, and make other usability adjustments again, but it does have a
noticeable impact on the keyboard lag issue that has impacted some users, at
least on an iPhone 4, 4S, and iPad 3.
Resetting all settings applies exclusively to settings and does not
delete any data from your device and is not to be confuse with the completely
separate procedure of a full device reset to factory settings, the latter of
which removes everything as if it was a brand new piece of hardware.
There may be a relationship to the lag and the autocorrect
dictionary, and some users have reported success with resetting the
auto-correction dictionary list. In our tests that did not work reliably enough
to recommend it though, and instead the best trick we’ve found so far
involves a universal settings reset.
It is quite likely an upcoming iOS software update will resolve this
issue completely, but in the meantime try out the settings reset, it can help.
