iOS 17.1.2 Keyboard is transparent when trying to search an App

When i click on 'Search' in the bottom of the screen, and then try to type an app name, the keyboard does not show visible on the screen. I can try typing without actually seeing the visual of the keyboard but its impossible for me to know where the letters are, so I have to give up and scroll all the way to the last screen and search in the 'App Library' search which works.

It wastes so much time on a daily basis, it is the feature i use the most and its really frustrating.

iPhone 14, iOS 17

Try a "forced" restart of your device using these instructions: Put it on charge for at least half an hour, then, keeping it plugged in, use these gestures:

In rapid sequence, press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the side (power) button. Only when the Apple logo appears (it might take 10-20 seconds), release that button (ignore all other screens that might appear, the one with the "slider" to turn the device off included).


If the issue persists, be aware that a new iOS version (17.2) is now available, and I suggest that you install it.


If the issue still persists, contact Apple Support directly, using this link:--> Contact Apple for support and service
