Is your iPhone keyboard not working? That isn't very pleasant, as you can't chat with others and may miss some important messages. If you need to reply to someone right now, you can temporarily use a physical keyboard as a workaround. If a physical keyboard is not available, please refer to this article and follow the steps, which will resolve this issue quickly.

Part 1. Reset Keyboard Settings

If the case key or some letters on the iPhone keyboard are not working, please ensure your iPhone screen is clean, dry, and moisture-free. Otherwise, the iPhone screen sensor may fail to recognize your tap.

Then, unplug your iPhone. Some users report that when the iPhone is in charge, some of their iPhone features are unresponsive, including the keyboard and speaker not working.

If the two resorts don't work, please refer to the following guide and reset your iPhone's keyboard settings.

Step 1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone and then tap General.

Step 2. At the very bottom of the General screen, tap Transfer or Reset iPhone.

Step 3. Tap Reset. Choose Reset Keyboard Dictionary. This option resets your iPhone keyboard settings to their default state.

Part 2. Remove Third-party Keyboards

The second solution to fix an iPhone keyboard that is not working is to remove any third-party keyboards. This is because some third-party keyboards are not fully compatible with iOS, and as a result, various issues arise, such as the iPhone emoji keyboard not functioning properly. Let's see how to remove them.

Step 1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

Step 2. Tap General > Keyboard > Keyboards.

Step 3. Tap the Edit button in the top right corner. Swipe left on third-party keyboards and tap Delete.

Part 3. Enable Keyboard Feedback

This method is designed to resolve the issue with iPhone keyboard haptics not working. Apple provides users with touch feedback to facilitate their experiences. If your iPhone keyboard's haptics and sound are not working, please verify that the corresponding settings are correct.

Step 1. Open Settings and tap on Accessibility.

Step 2. Find Touch under PHYSICAL AND MOTOR and tap it.

Step 3. First, toggle Vibration on. Then, enter Haptics and turn on Sound and Haptics.

Part 4. Update iOS Version

Similar to resolving other iPhone issues, such as Bluetooth not working, keeping the iOS version up to date is always an essential step. Some iOS versions, such as iOS 17, are prone to keyboard lag and typing errors. Apple will quickly collect users' reports and fix them in the next iOS version. Therefore, if you have tried many solutions but still cannot solve the issue, update your iOS version.

Step 1. Once again, open Settings and tap General.

Step 2. Tap Software Update at the top.

Step 3. Choose Update Now or Update Tonight. The updating will last from minutes to hours.
