Keyboard blocking screen on textbox in WhatsApp, Text messaging etc.

sailwind — Mon, 05 Apr 2021 00:16:21 GMT

This just happened out of the blue today. It's almost impossible to type when the keyboard is blocking the screen. I'd like to know what caused it and how to get things back to NORMAL. Please help. No updates were performed, nor was the phone restarted. I have uninstalled and reinstalled WhatsApp but it didn't help.

I have a Note 10 plus.

Thanks!

Try this:
Go to settings, in settings go to general management, in there go to samsung keyboard, and on the bottom you have reset to default settings. Try that see if it works for you. If not, do a screenshot to see what the actual problem is

Some one linked your device on whats can, you may be hacked so you need to go on yr setting and see if some one has linked there device on there phone so unlink it as once the other person has yr wats up on there phone they can easily block your key board. Hope this helped
