This problem is quite common and has several easy solutions most of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If the keyboard is not showing, it&rsquo;s likely the keyboard app has stopped working properly or crashed. Force stopping or restarting the keyboard is the most likely solution. Switching to another keyboard from Settings &gt; Languages &amp; Input can also be another quick fix.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might require more specific solutions for your device and keyboard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"simpletoc-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#how-do-i-fix-my-android-keyboard-not-appearing\">How do I fix my Android keyboard not appearing?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#android-keyboard-not-showing-only-google-voice\">Android keyboard not showing &ndash; only Google Voice<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#android-keyboard-not-showing-up-on-lock-screen\">Android keyboard not showing up on lock screen<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#android-keyboard-not-showing-suggestions\">Android keyboard not showing suggestions<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#firefox-android-keyboard-not-showing\">Firefox Android keyboard not showing<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#unity-android-keyboard-not-showing\">Unity Android keyboard not showing<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#huawei-android-keyboard-not-showing\">Huawei Android keyboard not showing<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#samsung-android-keyboard-not-showing\">Samsung Android keyboard not showing<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#android-tv-keyboard-not-showing\">Android TV keyboard not showing<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-to-switch-back-to-the-keyboard-used-before-an-android-update\">How to switch back to the keyboard used before an Android update?<\/a>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-i-fix-my-android-keyboard-not-appearing\">How do I fix my Android keyboard not appearing?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If your keyboard suddenly disappeared, chances are it has <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/phone-keep-going-back-to-home-screen\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2073\">crashed<\/a>.
