Keyboard lag problems (fails to load or sticks on screen too long)

My on-screen keyboard isn’t responding properly to my requests to type. The keyboard often takes a long time to pop up when I click into a text box (or it pops up finally only after I close and reopen an app/browser and try again). It also often lingers on the screen long after I’ve closed a text box or app (locking and unlocking my phone seems to make it go away).

It’s becoming increasingly frustrating, and I believe it started happening 2 updates ago. The most recent update did not fix it (I hoped it would!).

Anyone else experienced this and found a solution? Thank you.

Hi fancemma,

I haven’t experienced that problem yet. But it might be worth a try to delete the cache of your keyboard app (GBoard ist the standard app if you are using FPOS).

Settings → Apps → GBoard properties
