I too struggled with the keyboard, especially since iOS 26. I then tried to DEACTIVATE ALL keyboard "features", so:
- NO auto-corr
- NO predictive text
- NO check spelling
- NO char preview
- NO feedback
- NO sound
- NO auto-cap
- NO smart punctuation
- NO slide to type
- NO everything
And this ABSOLUTELY solved my problems with the iOS keyboard. Yes, I do mistype from time to time. But that is in no relation to how it was with all those features…
