Description

  • The choice component is difficult to use when search in iOS 26.2

How to replicate

  • Be running on iPhone on iOS 26.2

  • Click on Choice that has more items than it can display so the search has to be used

    - here is an example, this looks good

  • If I search it finds my name and I can pick it out of the list. All good.

  • If I put β€œGary" it covers up everything

  • as show here

  • Now if I click on the checkmark it shows my name.

  • This might be an apple problem.

  • You really have to try it out to see how messy it is as there are many other conditions that are wonky

  • Also try typing a name that does not match. You lose the search typing in that case as well.

  • The choice for the check box has around 250 items

  • It works great on a safari web browser

  • I tried turning off predictive text - did not help

So I tried a couple of things. I put the choice component on its own page and it worked acceptably.

I then reordered the widgets like this

and it works better. It has something to do with the Image hiding the search text box. Now I can always see the search text box as per this.

This is not a solution. It is a work around but someone has to figure out a proper solution
