Yes it's an ipad mini, IOS 8.3. The model is ME277LL/A. No liquids spilled no has it been dropped. Yes, did the reset. This hs only happened in the past few weeks. Thanks for responding.
Hi again - I just updated my iPad Air 2 to iOS 8.4.1 - not sure if & how you backup your device (I use both iTunes & iCloud), but if you use iTunes, my first suggestion would be to do a backup to your computer and then update your iOS - might correct the KB situation - don't know?
Quoted below are some suggestions from this
Website - 'Resetting all Settings' could be a little drastic, but at least try the others and post back. If none of these help, then a
Restoration would have to be considered.
Hopefully, others will 'chime in' w/ supporting or additional ideas - Dave
Users have occasionally come across a keyboard that lags while typing an email or using iMessage. iOS 8 allows for use of third-party keyboards, but this issue persists even then.
Potential Solutions –
- Guided Access, an accessibility mode, sometimes interferes with some keyboards. Go into Settings – General – Accessibility – Guided Access, and make sure that the button is off.
- Go to Settings – iCloud – Documents and Data, and turn it off. If the issue goes away, you should be able to turn this back on again without the problem coming back.
- You can also try resetting all settings by going to Settings – General – Reset all Settings.
- Adding or removing third-party keyboards is now possible by going to Settings – General – Keyboards. Swiping a keyboard name to the left will reveal a delete button. Tap on “Add New Keyboard…” for other available options.
