iPhone
X/8 users are facing issue with iMessage or text that when they try to send a
message, the letters start to disappearing as you start typing. For example, if
you type a text to search in contact as OTHER, by the time your will type h,
the “Ot” will get erased. Not only that the letter you just typed, contacts
names starting from that will start populating.
This
issue of letter disappearing while searching in contact name field seems to be
faced by almost all iPhones like iPhone 6s, iPhone 7 , iPhone 8 and iPhone X
with iOS 11/ iOS 12. The issue is annoying as in some cases sometimes get two letters typed in before they
disappear when starting a text message in the iPhone. iPhone X have the same
issue as when you are typing a contacts
name that the letters disappear in iOS 11.4. Normal restart of iMessage or text
app does not seems to fix the issue and the issue still happens.
Fix 1: Sync your
contact list again
You may
be importing contacts in your iPhone from different sources like gmail, iCloud,
email exchange etc. As this can be a contact related issue therefore it is
recommended to sync contact list again. Or use only those required and disable "contacts"
for all the accounts. After the sync you should have downlaoded contacts from
the icloud and no such letter disappearing issue should occur again.
You can
go into Accounts and Passwords, and click on your different accounts (email
addresses) then deselect the contacts button from all but your default account.
Fix 2: Use Siri
Actually
this is more like a workaround to the issue. For sending any text message you
can use Siri for dictating the message.
Fix 3: Reset the
iPhone
Please
make sure to take backup of your iPhone. And from the
setting->General->Reset option you can reset you iPhone as new.
