Q: iMessage glitching

I Own the iPad mini and it is updated to the latest. whenever I try to respond to a text and tap the typi part imessage glitches and takes me back to the home screen. I have tried restarting my device and checked my storage. Sometimes it will randomly work, but not recently. This has going on for a while even before I got the update.

iPad Mini, iOS 9.1

    Try a forced restart: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the restart.
