User level: Level 1 (9 points)I have been having problems typing and sending text messages. It takes about 5 seconds to enter each character and also takes quite some time to send the message. I have the latest software update - iOS 26.7. How do I correct this problem?

iOS 27 is available for iPhone 16E. What iOS version are you currently running on your iPhone? I'm wondering if you have either a storage issue or your battery is failing?
Open Settings > Battery > Battery Health - what does is show? If 80% or below, your battery is failing.
Open Settings > General > iPhone Storage - how much space is available out of how much total space on your iPhone?

Have you tried to force restart the iPhone to see if the issues persist?
Also, if you have an iPhone 11 or above you can upgrade to iOS 27, that is the latest release

The problem might be that your storage is getting full or your iphone just cant comprehend the software your currently on.
