Iphone Keyboard typing on its own

There is no known software issue that would cause this behavior, so the best approach would be to get it looked at by Apple. I have included the link to help you make a Genius Reservation if you wanted to have that done.

Hi Apple Team,

My iphone XS Max has just started to type on its own when I am trying to text, search, log in to apps etc and is not inputting the correct numbers or letters that I myself am trying to type. I have tried resetting the dictionary, unplugging, restarting, removing the cover etc as suggested online but this has not rectified the issue. Can you please advise what else I can do to fix this as its starting to become unusable?

Thanks for your help in advance!

One additional question: Does it happen only when the phone is plugged in, or all the time? If it is only when the phone is plugged in you have a bad lightning cable.

Looks like Voice Control is On.

Go to -> Settings -> Accessibility -> Speak Auto-Text -> Off.

See this Apple article: Use Voice Control on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

I assume your screen is not cracked. A cracked screen will register "ghost" touches that look like someone else is typing on your phone.

Do you have a blue microphone symbol on the top your screen?
