On screen keyboard disappears

[OnlyAlex]

Hi everyone, I've had this really annoying issue with my phone since September. Basically every week or so I go to use my phone and the on screen keyboard doesn't display. I have tried clearing the cache, Force stop Samsung keyboard to no avail. The only way to fix the issue is to restart the device. 

I reset the device in December and the issue is still occurring. 

For a six month old phone I'm starting to get a bit annoyed and don't know what to do.

Cheers

Is it your keypad which you use to dial
numbers from or your normal keyboard to type words with.
Seems strange it doesn't show, iv'e had the S22ultra since march with no problems.

Normal keyboard to type words with.

Just as a process of elimination can you download a keyboard such as gBoard and see if that works as it should @OnlyAlex 

Other options are to try Safe Mode  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-start-my-galaxy-device-in-safe-mode/ turns off downloaded apps and themes etc which may highlight an app or theme that's causing conflict. 

And go into the Samsung Keyboard Settings and fully reset it.

Ensure there are no pending updates.

My Samsung Keyboard is working as it should.

Thank you. The issue goes away when I restart the device, so putting it into safe mode means the issue goes away too.

I could try Gboard, thanks.

I have reset the settings and reset it.

I am not sure whether to just live with it or get a repair, if they can even repair it.
