Greetings ellebellenyc,


Ensuring the keyboard is working as expected is important and you've walked through great steps with verifying settings and restarting your iPhone. Since you've completed those steps, have you confirmed you're running the latest iOS? If not, update using the steps listed below. You can also find these steps outlined in the following article.


  1. "Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
  2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
  3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
  4. If you see two software update options available, choose the one that you want to install.
  5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do."


"You might see that your device is up to date and that there's an upgrade available. For example, even if your device is up to date with the latest version of iOS 14, there might be an option to upgrade to iOS 15. You might want to upgrade iOS when you pair an accessory with iPhone."


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If you're noticing this issue after updating iOS and the issue only occurs in third-party apps, make sure the apps are updated to the latest versions. You can update the apps using the steps listed below.


"How to manually update apps on your iPhone or iPad

  1. Open the App Store.
  2. Tap your profile icon at the top of the screen.
  3. Scroll to see pending updates and release notes. Tap Update next to an app to update only that app, or tap Update All."
