On my iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 18.6.2, Grok Bot version 1.24.1 crashes completely whenever I tap the input/composer field to start typing. This happens consistently and prevents me from typing messages. I’ve tried the following, with no improvement: - Force-quitting the app. - Restarting the iPhone fully. - Updating the app through the App Store. - Switching to the default Apple keyboard. - Offloading and reinstalling the app. Expected behavior: tapping the composer opens the keyboard and lets me type without crashing. There may be related reports about blank screens, freezes when opening the keyboard, and other iOS composer crashes, but I haven’t confirmed whether these share the same cause. Could the team investigate and advise which diagnostics would help? ---

Same issue on my iPhone 15 Pro Max running Grok Bot 1.24.1. Typing anything in any chat crashes the app. Deleting and reinstalling didn’t fix it. ---

Hey Thanks for the detailed report, and for ruling out so much already. This isn’t caused by anything on your phone, your keyboard, or your setup, so there’s nothing more you need to reinstall or reset. We’ve let the team know and this is an issue we’re tracking. A couple of things that should keep you going in the meantime: - Use the mic button in the composer to dictate your message. The voice path isn’t affected, so you can still send messages without opening the keyboard. - Your Bots are all reachable from the Grok Bot desktop app, which isn’t affected. You can grab it at [https://x.ai/bot](https://x.ai/bot). From what we can see this only happens on iOS 18, so updating iOS (if that’s something you were already considering) would likely avoid it as well. I’ll post back here once there’s an update. ---

### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Grok Bot ### Describe the Bug ## Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? - Cursor Mobile - Grok Bot (including remote computer control) ## Describe the Bug Grok Bot crashes immediately whenever I start typing text on my iPhone 16. The issue occurs in both Korean and English keyboard input and is reproducible 100% of the time. This is not limited to the Grok Bot chat interface. The app also crashes when Grok Bot has control of a remote computer and I attempt to type into an input field on that computer. The keyboard opens successfully, but the app terminates as soon as I begin typing. The issue persists after restarting the app, rebooting the iPhone, updating the app, and reinstalling it. ## Steps to Reproduce **Scenario 1: Chat input** 1. Open Grok Bot 1.24.1 on an iPhone 16. 2. Navigate to a chat interface. 3. Tap the message input field to open the keyboard. 4. Start typing any text in Korean or English. 5. The app immediately crashes. **Scenario 2: Remote computer control** 1. Open Grok Bot on the iPhone. 2. Start a session in which Grok Bot has control of a remote computer. 3. Select a text input field on the remote computer. 4. Attempt to type using the iPhone keyboard. 5. The app immediately crashes. **Reproduction rate:** 100% (every attempt). ## Expected Behavior The app should allow users to type text normally in both Korean and English without crashing. Text input should also work correctly when interacting with input fields on a remote computer controlled through Grok Bot. ## Screenshots / Screen Recordings N/A — No recording attached. ## Operating System - **Platform:** iOS - **Device:** iPhone 16 - **iOS Version:** N/A (not provided) ## Version Information - **Product:** Grok Bot - **App Version:** 1.24.1 - **Cursor IDE Version:** N/A - **Cursor CLI Version:** N/A ## For AI issues: Which model did you use? N/A — The issue occurs during text input, before submitting a request to an AI model. ## For AI issues: Add Request ID with privacy disabled N/A — The app crashes during text input before a request can be submitted. ## Additional Information **Troubleshooting steps already attempted:** - Force-closed and restarted the app. - Rebooted the iPhone. - Updated the app. - Uninstalled and reinstalled the app. None of these steps resolved the issue. **Additional observations:** - The crash occurs with both Korean and English keyboard input. - The issue is consistently reproducible. - The issue affects multiple text input contexts, including chat and remote computer control. - The app crashes when typing begins, rather than when a message is submitted. ## Does this stop you from using Cursor? **Yes — Cursor Mobile / Grok Bot is unusable for text input.** The issue prevents normal interaction with chat interfaces and remote computer input fields, making the affected features unusable. ### Steps to Reproduce 1. Open Grok Bot 1.24.1 on an iPhone 16. 2. Navigate to a chat interface. 3. Tap the message input field to open the keyboard. 4. Start typing any text in Korean or English. 5. The app immediately crashes. ### Operating System iOS ### Version Information Grok Bot: Version 1.24.1 IOS: 18.7.8 ### Does this stop you from using Cursor No - Cursor works, but with this issue ---

### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Grok Bot ### Describe the Bug On the Grok Bot iOS app, typing on the system keyboard anywhere in the app immediately crashes the app. This happens in every text field I can reach (chat composer, settings, feedback form, search, etc.). Because of this, I cannot submit in-app feedback — attempting to type in the feedback form crashes the app before the report can be sent. The crash occurs as soon as keyboard input begins. The app is otherwise open and navigable until any typing starts. ### Steps to Reproduce Steps to Reproduce 1. Open the Grok Bot app on iOS. 2. Navigate to any screen that accepts text input (a bot chat, Settings, Send Feedback, search, etc.). 3. Tap a text field so the keyboard appears. 4. Type any character. ### Expected Behavior Expected Behavior Typing in any text field should work normally without crashing the app. ### Operating System iOS ### Version Information Grok Bot 1.19.1 (29118) · runtime 4b4093f3420dddaef2209d821564a22310901d70 · embedded bundle · channel production ### Additional Information Additional Information • The crash is app-wide, not limited to a single bot or conversation. • Force-quitting and reopening has not resolved it. • This prevents normal use of the app and blocks the in-app feedback mechanism. • The main Grok app (non-Bot) continues to work normally on the same device. • Plan: SuperGrok ### Does this stop you from using Cursor No - Cursor works, but with this issue ---

Verified workaround for me is typing the text in notes app or another app, copy the text and paste it in grok bot app. This way i am able to send prompts without it crashing, if i try to type 1 letter manually it crashes on iphone 16 pro. Pasting works ---

I’m experiencing the same crash on my iPhone 12 Pro Max (iOS 18.7.8) after updating to Grok Bot 1.24.1, released on November 5. I’ve tested this across multiple chats: tapping the chat input field opens the keyboard and immediately crashes the app, so I can’t type any messages. Text input worked normally on the previous version. Please prioritize a fix — this affects all text input in the app.
