Keyboard flickering after the IOS15 update on majority third party messaging apps

I updated to IOS15 5-10 minutes after it was released in my country and ever since my keyboard has been very odd and glitchy. Each time I type and send a message the keyboard flickers (like it disappears for a split second and comes back, almost like a disappearing flash) And it keeps happening each time I send a message. It's quite irritating and buggy and killed the experience of the update for me as well.

Anyone else facing this issue since the update?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15

Greetings, hasi7h.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We can understand why you’d want to resolve the issue with your keyboard flickering while using 3rd party apps.

While you screen responds, please go ahead and complete the steps shown here: If the screen isn’t working on your iPhone or iPad

Since you mentioned this only happens in 3rd party apps, these steps may also help: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open

You should also investigate to see if you’re using 3rd party keyboards: Add or change keyboards on iPhone If so, you may want to uninstall them and test to see if the issue continues: Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

We hope this helps! Thanks for being a part of the community.

Sincerely.

This issue is still happening for me as well. It seem to go away after keyboard reset for couple of days and comes back again.
