Here’s how to fix the iPhone keyboard not showing on iOS 15:

  1. Hard reboot the iPhone
    • Apple iPhone 6 and earlier — Press and hold the Home and Power buttons until the iPhone resets.
    • iPhone 7 — Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons until the iPhone resets.
    • iPhone 8 and newer — Press and release Volume Up, press and release Volume Down, press and hold the Side button until the iPhone resets.
  2. Disable Bluetooth connectivity
    • Open the Settings application.
    • Select the Bluetooth option.
    • Turn off the Bluetooth connection.
  3. Wait for iOS 15.1 to launch
    • Apple is working to release new iOS 15 updates that iron out the launch bugs.
  4. Factory reset the iPhone
    • Note: It’s advisable to backup the iPhone before resetting it.
    • Tap the Settings app.
    • Navigate to the General section.
    • Choose the “Transfer or Reset iPhone” option.
    • Select the “Reset” option.

Factory resetting the device is a last resort only. For a vast majority of users, any of the prior steps will fix the keyboard not showing up on iPhone.

Most of the time, a simple reset is all it takes. Sometimes, however, users forget that they have an active wireless Bluetooth keyboard connection; this can prevent the on-screen touch keyboard from appearing on iPhone. By simply disabling the Bluetooth feature, it’s possible to rule out this possibility quickly. Meanwhile, waiting on new iOS 15 updates should officially solve the issue in time.

In other iPhone news, some users are finding themselves unable to verify the iOS 15 patch. Many users that have the update are fortunate enough for their keyboards to appear, but, unfortunately, there’s a problem here too; the iOS 15 flickering keyboard bug is incredibly distracting.
