iPhone 16 Pro Max Typing s in the pull down Siri search cause KB to quickly crash.

If you pull down on the home screen to invoke a Siri search and type just an s the kb will quicky crash and return. I can replicate this on iOS 18 15&16PM.

I see this too. I didn't realize it was crashing.

Yes - I see it autofilling ‘Settings — Open’ before quickly resetting. You can quickly type a second letter (even another s) as a sort of workaround.

That's strange, not the case for me. I did the same thing, typed an "s" but the keyboard didn't crash.

I tested this on an iPhone SE 2nd gen with the latest public release of iOS 18.

Edit: No issues with my 14 Pro Max with iOS 18. Maybe its specific to certain iPhones, strange bug.

Not happening to me on 16 Pro.

Doesn't happen to me on my 16 Pro or wife's 16 Pro Max, just tried both of them.

Funny - I just checked, it happens on both my iPhone 16 PM and iPhone 15 PM. Also, type a bunch of 's' characters, a few of them will register in the text box - start deleting them, when you get to 1 's', it crashes again.

Fixed in iOS 18.0.1...

I posted here about the same thing about a week ago. I was typing the word speedtest and the s would crash the keyboard and disappear. However the problem has seemed to go away. Which is odd. Since there were no software updates.

For me there was an update today that fixed it - 18.0.1
