How to Fix OnePlus 13 Keyboard Not Appearing

Your keyboard suddenly not showing up on your OnePlus 13 can be annoying, especially when you need to reply to messages or type in a search bar. This issue often happens because of temporary software bugs, incorrect keyboard settings, or background restrictions. The good thing is, there are several easy ways to fix it.

Why Your OnePlus 13 Keyboard Might Not Be Appearing

• The keyboard app crashed or is frozen in the background.
• The default keyboard has been changed or disabled.
• Battery optimization is restricting the keyboard app.
• System glitches or outdated software.
• Accessibility or display settings interfering with the keyboard.

Restart Your Phone.

Sometimes the simplest fix is the most effective. Restarting clears background processes that may be preventing the keyboard from loading.

1. Press and hold the Power key, and then tap Restart.
2. Wait for your OnePlus 13 to reboot and test if the keyboard appears again.

A quick restart refreshes system memory and reloads apps correctly.

Check the Default Keyboard Setting.

If you recently installed another keyboard app, your device may have switched to it automatically. Setting your preferred keyboard again usually solves the issue.

1. Open Settings, and then tap System.
2. Tap Languages & input, and then tap On-screen keyboard.

Make sure Gboard or your preferred keyboard is selected under Default keyboard.

Clear Keyboard App Cache and Data.

A corrupted cache may cause the keyboard app to fail to open. Clearing it helps restore normal performance.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
2. Tap App management, and then find and tap your keyboard app, such as Gboard.

Tap Storage & cache, and then tap Clear cache. If the issue continues, tap Clear storage to reset the app.

Disable Battery Optimization for the Keyboard.

Battery optimization can sometimes put your keyboard app to sleep. Turning it off ensures it stays active when needed.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
2. Tap Battery optimization, and then locate your keyboard app.

Select it, and then choose Don’t optimize.

Update the Keyboard App and System Software.

Outdated apps or system software can cause compatibility problems. Updating them fixes bugs that might be stopping the keyboard from appearing.

1. Open the Play Store, and then tap your profile icon.
2. Tap Manage apps & device, and then tap Updates available.

Update the keyboard app if it appears on the list. You can also open Settings, tap System, then tap System update to check for OS updates.

Reset App Preferences.

If some permissions were disabled or apps were restricted, resetting app preferences can restore proper behavior without deleting data.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
2. Tap Reset app preferences, and then confirm the action.

This restores all app defaults, including disabled apps, permissions, and notifications.

A missing keyboard is usually caused by minor software problems. Once you restart, clear the cache, or update your device, it often starts working again.
