Number keys on iPadOS 26 register incorrect/random characters, making numeric input unreliable across all applications. Affected Versions iPadOS 26.0 through 26.1 (build 23B85) Platform-specific: Only iPadOS (iPhone doesn't present the full on-screen keyboard) Reproduction Steps Open any app with a numeric text field (For example, Apple's Contacts) Tap numeric text field - a small number-only pad appears Dismiss this small numpad (tap outside or hit return) Tap the field again - full keyboard with numbers appears Type numbers on this full keyboard Result: Numbers register as random/incorrect characters Scope Affects numeric keyboard types (.numberPad, .decimalPad ) Reproducible in Apple's native apps (Contacts or any apps that has numeric TextField) Impact Critical: Users cannot reliably enter phone numbers, passwords, financial data, or any numeric input. Other findings Keyboard starts to register correct keys when switch from the full on-screen keyboard to alphabetic page, and then back to the page with numeric keys
