If you've tried resetting your iPhone 8 and using a different keyboard app like Google Gboard, and you're still experiencing issues specifically with the letters "xdr" not working on the keyboard, there are a few additional troubleshooting steps you can try:


1. Check for physical damage: Inspect your iPhone's physical keyboard for any signs of damage or debris that may be causing the issue. Clean the keyboard area gently with a soft, lint-free cloth.


2. Update your iOS: Ensure that your iPhone 8 is running the latest version of iOS available. Software updates often include bug fixes and improvements that can resolve keyboard-related issues.


3. Reset keyboard settings: Go to Settings on your iPhone, then navigate to General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary. This will reset the keyboard dictionary and potentially resolve any software-related issues.


4. Restore your iPhone: If the problem persists, you can try restoring your iPhone 8 using iTunes or Finder (depending on your computer's operating system). Make sure to back up your data before restoring your device, as this process erases all content and settings.


5. Contact Apple Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's advisable to reach out to Apple Support for further assistance. They can provide specific troubleshooting guidance or advise on any potential hardware-related issues with your iPhone 8.


Remember, the iPhone 8 is a slightly older model, and if you've exhausted all troubleshooting options and the problem persists, it may be worth considering professional repair or upgrading to a newer iPhone model.
