Well, things were working fine. I updated to 9.2 a week after it came out and thing have been fine UNTIL LATE WEEK!! Keyboard freezing frequently when typing text messages and doing searches. This is driving me nuts. When it freezes, if I continue typing, while keyboard freezes, 10 seconds later you will see what was typed. I don't know what's wrong now.
It seems turnin off the emoji keyboard helped but no so anymore.
Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on this device.
Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings
If this does not help, restore your device to factory settings. Note that this will erase the data from your device.
Take a look this Apple Support article: Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.
As a final step, try the recovery mode. Turn your device off, then plug it to your computer with the home button pressed. Keep the Home button pressed until you see the iTunes logo on the screen of your device. After that on your computer you should see the iTunes window saying your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click on the restore button.

If these steps don't work, contact Apple and ask for help.
I actually did all that, except a restore to factory, but!!!
This fixed me!
If you are having the issue while you type and it freezes, then I'm very sure the following steps will resolve the issue.
I hope this helps everyone! It definitely helped me!
