Losing a text while writing

Occasionally, while typing, the text turns blue (highlighted) then, no matter what I type next, the msg is erased. It’s obviously a problem because so many are complaining.

Are there better phones?

You originally posted macOS Sequoia...is this a Mac issue or an iPhone issue(?)


I have an iPhone and never had your problem.



Verify your on the current stable release of iOS including bug fixes, security updates is iOS 18.2

Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support



if you are on an old phone / iOS note the current 15 is iOS 15.8.3 this would apply to your original SE (2016-17)

Repeatedly, I've experienced the loss of a text I'm writing on my iPhone. Usually, it's when I'm making a correction while completing a text and suddenly note that the entire text becomes highlighted in blue. I lose it while attempting to eliminate the highlight since I cannot make a change while it's all blue. It seems that, no matter what I do, I lose the entire message. I realize I'm simply not doing the proper thing to restore and resume typing. Unfortunately, no one seems to be able to provide a helpful solution. Proper advice would be greatly appreciated.
