Apple released<\/a> the iOS 26.4 RC to developers and public beta testers today, setting the stage for an official release as soon as later this month.<\/p>\n

Apple has also shared its official release notes<\/a> for iOS 26.4, confirming that the update improves keyboard accuracy when typing quickly on your iPhone.<\/p>\n

iOS 26.4: iPhone keyboard improvements<\/p>\n

iOS 26.4 specifically focuses on fixing a bug where characters on the keyboard appeared as if they were tapped, but were not actually inserted. Those missing characters then affected how Apple\u2019s Auto-Correction feature was able to predict what you actually meant to type.<\/p>\n

A thread on Reddit<\/a> from last month is full of complaints from iPhone users impacted by this bug. Again, it primarily happens when you\u2019re typing quickly.<\/p>\n

Apple actually quietly rolled out this keyboard change in an earlier iOS 26.4 beta, and users have already noticed<\/a> an improvement. iOS 26.4 will likely be released to everyone later this month, at which point we\u2019ll get a better idea of what people think about the keyboard improvements.<\/p>\n

The change in iOS 26.4 is not connected to a viral video<\/a> from last year, which appeared to show how the iOS keyboard is \u201cbroken.\u201d In that video, the user does not have Auto-Correction enabled and is using the QuickPath (or swipe-to-type) feature. What\u2019s shown in that video is actually the expected behavior, as keyboard animations are purposefully hidden when using QuickType.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re running iOS 26.4, have you noticed any improvement in the keyboard\u2019s accuracy? Let us know down in the comments.<\/p>\n
