As he writes, Apple and Reddit user forums were flooded with complaints about a new bug in iOS. The error appears when typing text on the keyboard – e.g. writing text messages or instant messages – regardless of the application.
Weird bug in iOS 17. Want to write a quick text on iPhone? Nothing of that
The error appears when writing the message content quite quickly, but typically. It causes you to suddenly exit the application and display a window with all the programs running in the background. It is extremely irritating because it interrupts the text entry process. Interestingly, such a problem does not appear when slowly touching subsequent fields on the smartphone keyboard. Users have noticed that only some Apple smartphones with the iOS 17 operating system (all versions) are affected by the glitch.
Some users have already returned their phones to the service center and Apple accepts such devices. However, victims of replacement smartphones experience the same inconvenience. The company has not yet commented on the reports.
You will probably have to wait a while for a possible patch from Apple that will fix the problem. However, MacRumors notes that there is a workaround for the bug. After entering the settings and then clicking Accessibility and Touch, you will find the Easy Access option, which allows you to lower the top edge of the screen with one gesture to make it easier to use with one hand. Disabling this feature apparently blocks the problem, at least for some users.
