I type in a mixture of English, German and some French. I use an English keyboard but word recognition works also in German. I recently updated to iOS 26.5.2 on my iPhone Mini. Now I find it very hard to distinguish the accented characters that pop up in a horizontal list when you hold a key down. The letters are smaller than the letters shown on the keys and the distinguishing accents are of course much smaller.
I am not sure, but I think there are many more accented characters than in iOS 18. Here are some I use: a has 12 (picture), e has 10, o has 11 and u has 11. It is almost impossible to tell the difference at this scale between umlaut and double acute, or acute and grave. Does anyone else have this problem?
I looked in the accessibility settings but did not find anything useful. Have I missed a trick?
In other places in iOS 26 Apple has changed long scrolling horizontal menus to vertical. Not here. If nobody has a solution I shall suggest to Apple that they have a UI problem that could be fixed with a bigger vertical or block menu.
