How to Troubleshoot Keyboard Not Working on iPhone
A lot of the time, any issues with the iOS keyboard are related to the app that you are using the keyboard in. If you've noticed your keyboard not working in multiple or all apps, skip to the next step. Otherwise, try the steps below if you experience the keyboard on your iPhone not working:
* Force quit the app you are using the keyboard in by swiping all the way up from the bottom of your display, then swiping up again over the app.
* Restart your iPhone to fix any random glitches.
* Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS in case this is a known software issue that has been fixed by Apple.
* Try uninstalling the app that keeps having keyboard problems and re-installing it again.
Once you take these steps and try to use the keyboard again, go slow and make sure your app is fully loaded before you start typing. Sometimes, if you get too excited and start typing too early in the Messages app, for example, the app will have issues loading and can crash, or the keyboard will lag. If this doesn't help, try resetting your keyboard dictionary next. To learn more about your iPhone, sign up for our free Tip of the Day Newsletter.
