I had a keyboard, then yesterday my watch was in French and there was no longer a keyboard.
Both my Phone and watch are in English, but the message app often (not always) is in French.
I even tried to switch the watch to Spanish and it stayed in French.
None of the options listed work for me.
for the following option:
"If you don’t see the keyboard, swipe up from the bottom, then tap the Keyboard button."
On what page do we swipe up? Can't be done from the iMessage screen. It is not an option on the screen where we choose the language and where "suggestions" are.
