iPhone 15 Pro keyboard not showing anymore in apps and browsers input text fields

I thought my issue was resolved after updating to 17.1.2, but it is back. Not all the time, just sometimes, but still very annoying. If close all the applications and reopen, sometimes I get the keyboard back, not always. I sometimes restart the phone and it always comes back, until it goes away again. I want my iphone 12 back, the 15 is not working for me. @apple, please find a way to fix this!!!

Anyone figure out how to make the keyboard show to type in search bar?

I used that feature a ton on iphone 11 promax. Just got the 15 promax, and it’s maddening that a $1500 already has an issue with a missing keyboard for a simple search.

mine seems to be worse I have the updated Software and hardware.

this happens 9 out of 10 times.

I didn’t pay this much for a phone to play hide and seek with my keyboard, nor should users be required to fix it themselves. I want my iPhone 11 back, 15 pro. Sad to have upgraded.

I chatted with support today, first they suggested I add a keyboard…ok, so do I add one every time int vanishes? Please give me back my iphone 12!!!!

Then, they wanted me to reset the settings (and delete all my passwords in the process), and suggested I write them all down on a piece of paper so I don’t lose them….high tech solution😂

People's Replies here are not helping the situation!

If you are responding and saying "Me Too". That is no help in any way what so ever.

Apple is not going to react to that. Why? because they will be assuming you have an iPhone out of the box that still needs to be upgraded. And so why would they react?

When you comment here please provide what Version of IOS you are on and more detail about the experience after you upgraded.

Otherwise your comment devalues this whole thread.

My personal experience was terrible on a version prior to 17.1.1. keyboard would regularly not turn up.

and yes this should never happen on a smart phone.

Since I upgraded to 17.1.1 I only have had it happen once. and it has not happened in the last 3 weeks since I upgraded (only once the day after upgrade.)

Was having the exact same issue with my iPhone 15 Pro since updating to iOS 17.1.1, however, doing a Force restart seemed to fix it!

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

Just updated my iPhone 15 pro max to the most uptodate software available iOS 17.2 on the 12/12/23 & this is still happening.

Infuriating to see such old posts on this same topic & still no solution from Apple! I’m also finding my iPhone is freezing a lot when in apps or on a browser & trying to scroll. Really unimpressed with this phone so far!

Yes! Thank you all for this thread. I thought I was losing my mind! Apple, please fix this. It's the same for me, sometimes it works and sometimes not. Totally random, it appears. It's making me crazy.

Same problem with 15 Pro (iOS 17.1.2), but with 12 Pro Max everything is good (iOS 17.1.2)

Hi,

I was also facing similar issue after OS update.

however, it is now resolved after forced restart.

This issue can be frustrating if your keyboard is not appearing in the app or browser. If there are minor glitches, you can try the fixes below to rectify the keyboard issue on your iPhone 15 Pro.

1. Check if you have connected any Bluetooth keyboard with your iPhone. Disconnect it first.

2. The Reachability feature might cause an issue as it allows the use of the iPhone with one hand. Disable the Reachability feature. Go to Setting >>> Select Accessibility >>> Click on Touch >>> Turn off Reachability.

3. Also, turn off the one-handed keyboard mode. Go to Settings >>> Click on General >>> Select Keyboard >>> Select one-handed keyboard >>> Turn it Off.

4. If you're using a third-party keyboard on your iPhone, that might cause an issue. Switch to the Default Apple Keyboard and disable all third-party keyboards.

5. Lastly, you can relaunch the app that is facing issues with the keyboard.

If nothing works, Erase all content and settings on your iPhone. Go to Settings >>> Select General >>> Select Transfer or Reset iPhone >>> Tap Erase All Content and Settings. I hope these fixes work.

I just got a 15pro and software is up to date and still no keyboard for search. I can only talk to text. It acts like it’s there but invisible.

iPhone 12 still has it and works fine.

Swipe from top of your screen to button and it should give your keyboard back.
