Iphone 12 keyboard constantly freezing/overheatinf

My iphone 12’s keyboard will suddenly freeze after a certain amount of time passed. When it freezes,I’m still able to use all of my apps unless I want to type something. I have to force restart my phone at least 15 times a day just because of this. It also overheats insanely much just by being on a facetime call. Sometimes i’m even unable to join a facetime/receive any calls without restarting my device. It’s not my storage, nor is it the battery as it’s at 100% health. Is there any way to fix this problem??
