keyboard disappears for some messages

Sometimes, the keyboard for a particular message just disappears and there seems to be no way to get the keyboard back for that message. The keyboard is present for other messages, however. I have a brand new iPhone with all updated OS etc of-course.

This seems to have been a common problem based on the threads I have read. The response from Apple support has been to upgrade and reboot. Any other pointers from Apple support to get this resolved would be appreciated.

iPhone 5s, iOS 11

Typing a message I have an IPhone 12 Pro, and today for some reason when I go to write a text, the keyboard appears at the left hand side of my phone. It is impossible to type and see the screen as you have to turn the phone sideways. Has anyone else have this problem when typing a text message? Or can someone tell me how to fix it? Thanking you in advance 😊

Quick Reply Issue - iOS 15.1 Since I updated my iPhone 11 Pro to iOS 15.1, when I long press a message from the Lock Screen or notifications screen, it pops up blank and no keyboard. I have made sure Reply with Message is on and tried force restarting the phone. Still messages come up blank when long pressing texts. Anyone else have this problem and fixed it? *screenshot attached of issue
