Users on Twitter have been complaining about a bug in the Calculator app in iOS 11. Apparently, typing in 1+2+3= in the calculator too fast, results in it displaying the incorrect answer.
What¡¯s actually happening here is that visual frills for the app are interfering with its efficiency. Basically, there¡¯s a bit of lag in the animation when you type two or more numbers together, so it misses out some key presses. And the weird part is, this glitch has been around since iOS 11 was in beta testing.
Basically, the calculator ignores inputs here and there unless you¡¯re typing slowly enough to account for your keypad lighting up. If a key is still highlighted, hitting another key will not do anything, it just won¡¯t register.
A few users have also experience similar issues in older versions of iOS, but it¡¯s much more noticeable in iOS 11, to the point where it can make the app almost unusable unless you¡¯re typing agonisingly slow.
Apple seems to be aware of the issue, as one employee tweeted that more than 70 filed have filed a report pointing out the bug to the company.
Now it¡¯s just a matter of waiting to see if all the attention forces apple to patch the issue sooner.
