When typing “ing” words I get an extra g

This is a long standing problem and one that many people seem to have. When typing quickly some “ing” words end up having an extra g. It’s not something I see all the time and it hasn’t happened here in this paragraph. Over the 5 years I’ve seen it reported I’ve never yet read a solution.

Need fix for extra ‘g’ when typing “ing” words This is a long-standing problem and one that many people seem to have. When typing quickly some “ing” words end up having an extra g. I don’t want to turn off auto-correct to make it go away. Does anyone have suggested fixes?

Auto-correct or keyboard issue replacing “I” with “u” or “o” while typing on my iPhone I've been experiencing a strange issue where the letter “I” often gets replaced with “u” or sometimes “o” while typing on my device. This happens more frequently when I type quickly. Although the problem seems to have reduced slightly after the recent update, it still occurs enough to change the context of what I’m writing. For example: I meant to type: "Today I went to a store and got a bunch of chocolates that I like very much." But it becomes: "Today u went to a store and got a bunch of chocolates that u like very much." Has anyone else faced this? Is this an auto-correct issue or a keyboard sensitivity bug? I really need this to be fixed. my current version - ios 18.4.1 [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Keyboard covering what I type Lately I’ve noticed my keyboard is covering up what I type so I cannot check for corrections. I’ve noticed this is messaging, Facebook, and a few other things. If I hit the keyboard down key and try to check my typing, as soon as I tap on a word the keyboard comes back up and covers it. I’ve tried scrolling the text upward, but again, when I tap, it drops down and the keyboard comes up covering it. I looked in settings, but don’t see anything there to change. Again, it just started recently.

I get the same thing and it happens frequently. Autocorrect is on but predictive text is off.
