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

Hello All...I had the same problem with my iPhone 13 Pro Max while using Apple programs, e.g. Messenger. I performed a hard restart of my phone and haven't seen the problem come back. Hopefully that was the trick and wanted to share with all.

Quickly press and release the Volume Up button.
Quickly press and release the Volume Down button.
Press and hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears, then release the Side button.

This happens on chrome and third party apps as well.
