Typing Delayed After Update

[Chadders]

Just accepted the latest update on my S21 Ultra and noticed straight away that there is a delay on typing. Usually if I open messaging app I can tap the text box and start typing instantly. Now there's a few seconds delay so it misses off the first word or so. It's very annoying. 

Happens in any app eg Messages, WhatsApp etc. 

Tried Gboard which is my usual but also tested and it's the same on Asking keyboard. It's driving me mad!

What's typing like on the Samsung Keyboard @Chadders 

Perhaps check in your current keyboards for any reset option.

Also try > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to hook up to a Computer or insert your earphones to enter into recovery mode.

Oh I had a typo. The Samsung keyboard is exactly the same 😞

I'll maybe try clearing cache

 Same problem as mine, gboard or Samsung keyboard all the same, it happens when keyboard pop ups and there is a second or 2 of delay which if you type instantly as soon as the keyboard pops up there is a delay touch won't be recognize instantly.

Also same when clicking search bar on chrome there is a delay 

But main issue is the keyboard delay same issue we encounter

I haven't encountered any fix yet. S21 ultra is my device

Hi mate. Do you have Facebook Messenger installed? Chatheads enabled? Disable chatheads and test 😎

Holy cow thank you for replying so fast, wow it really did fix the problem why is chat head affecting it, isnt there any other way? 

[Chadders]

I don't know when or why it happened but it must be related to either a messenger update or a Samsung update changed the way it treats apps that draw over other apps.

I used chat heads for what feels like years with no issue until very recently

I have had the same problem, and your fix helped me instantly. It Was pain in the a**.

I'm glad it was of help to you. I spent many hours testing and even did a factory reset before I realised what the issue was!
