    Hi there, MizEm!


    Thanks for reaching out to the  Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you are having issues with the keyboard on your device in Messages. The good news is there are a few options you can try to get this issue resolved! First, if the issue is with a third-party emoji keyboard, go to Settings> General> Keyboards. Once you are there, tap the Edit and remove the keyboard you are having issues with. Then, test the keyboard and see if that resolves the issue. If it doesn't, you might want to contact the emoji developer.

    If the issue is with the built -in Apple emojis, check out this article with steps to Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. This will allow you to close the Messages app. 

    Next, check out this article with steps to Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

     

    The next thing you might want to try is going to Settings on the iPhone and then to Reset. Once there, tap Reset all Settings. This will reset the iPhone settings, but not erase personal information such as photos, contacts, or music. It will, however, remove Wi-Fi and VPN settings so be sure you have those settings and passwords ready for when the iPhone is started back up.

     

    If that doesn't work, it would be a good idea to be sure there is not a software issue as the root cause of this for you.

    1. Check out this article for the steps for How to backup your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    2. Use this article for the steps to Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings.
    3. Once that is done, set the phone up as new and test the phone to see if the issue is still going on. Then, follow this article to Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup

    Have a great day!
