1 easy solution is switch number pad to regular keyboard pad, drag the keyboard bottom icon to the screen bottom. it will switch keyboard.

I've got the same problem - iPadOs 14.0.1 on iPad Mini 5 - keyboard won't pop up in web views from discord or Links added to home page (so, seems to be related to the web view)
Safari and other Browsers, as well as the apps I tried, all works fine. Reboot fixes for a time. Nothing else I've tried so far seemed to help (reduce motion was already disabled, resetting dictionary did nothing either)

Turning off reduce motion fixes it, but if you actually care and want to keep reduce motion on, you can keep it on as long as you make sure crossfade transitions is disabled

edit: as far as I know this fixes the issue where Instagram, Snapchat, and Gmail keyboards would disappear when swiped down. not sure about other issues

Only half of my keyboard worked properly. Other half operated as a mouse. Turned off assistive touch and it works great.

0 and then 14.0.1 on iPhone 8.

I initially noticed this on 14.0 with Safari, when forwarding a URL to an email using the "action (share)" icon. Keyboard often didn't initially appear for input into the "To:" address field, but by moving cursor down to the subject or email body area, it then does, and I can move it back up to "To:" with the keyboard remaining visible/functional.
Yesterday, I tried to move 2 apps into a new home screen folder, and I coudn't see a keyboard to name the folder. If I hit lower part of the screen area, characters in the folder name would appear, but couldn't see control it. I had to soft reset the phone and then it was OK to create and name the folder.

Also noticed it disappears when you try and rename a folder. I ended up having to copy and paste from another app. The keyboard still functions, just doesn't appear on screen.

I had this same issue. Whenever I tapped inside of a text field (search bar, email, text, etc) my keyboard would not appear. I simply rebooted my phone and it solved the issue. Hasn’t happened again so far.

I was having this issue on iPhone 8 after doing a clean install of iOS 14.2 (not upgrade). Disabling reduce motion fixed it for me - but it’s annoying that I had to fix this.

On Telegram and Safari for example, the scroll bar would go halfway through the screen as if the keyboard is on screen when it’s actually not.

Can’t wait for Apple to fix this problem.

I just noticed the same thing just now. Keyboard is not showing up when i was about to search for a widget application it just lets me paste, and when i was trying to reply to a chat from the notification banner keyboard is not showing as well. Would really be great if this will be fixed soon.

I have the same problem and would love an answer. Its very frustrating

Using 14.2.1 on iphone12. Keyboard gradually stops responding in WhatsApp, making the app bounce or need to multiple tap to get it back per reply, gets worse on Safari, after about 24hrs only ‘paste works - keyb doesn’t show. Rebooting seems to work for another 24hrs and it degrades again. Doesn’t make any difference if ‘reduce motion’ is on or off. Extremely frustrating!

This problem drove me crazy. Finally figured out that my new computer (Dell Inspiron) comes with an electronic pen that somehow connected to my iPhone's bluetooth. This pen (or any other external wireless keyboard) became my default keyboard so my phone's keyboard would not appear. If you have this problem, turn off your bluetooth and see if the problem goes away. If it does, EURIKA...you know where the problem is. Hope this is helpful.

Turned of Bluetooth here, and the keyboard came back.

I have this same problem after pairing with a Smartwatch via Bluetooth. Turned off Bluetooth and the keyboards reappear. Rebooting does not resolve this issue. I am running iOS 14.2.1 on iPhone 12 Pro Max.

This is really very very frustrating.. this is still happening and not sure how apple is treating this critical things. And the worst part is keyboard is not getting pop-up while entering OTP. I have to disable Bluetooth for a while for a quick fix.

Add me to the list of people who are angry and frustrated with this. Please fix this! I cannot log into sites or put in verification information. You are effectively holding my
iphone internet hostage with this. Get it fixed, please or I will have to give up on iPhone.

Finally!!! I had been sorted out the issue. :)

After iOS 14.2 update on iPhone keyboard issue started but luckily sorted out after three days.

You just need to disable your WIFI and Bluetooth on mobile and check. It's working smoothly everywhere.

I come to know because in morning session, it functioning well when my GOQii watch is not connected.

Now i tried everywhere with manual disable the Bluetooth.

Thanks to the people on this forum, for letting me know to switch of Bluetooth.
Apple team , this is a priority 1 defect.
Not able to scan QR code or Compose a new Mail , I wasted my 2days and reset the phone multiple times.
Even your Apple Service Center should be informed - wasted my time at the Service center with no resolution in 2 visits.
Kindly communicate to your Service centers atleast.
Found this solution, thanks to this forum- while doing a Google search - would have switched to an Android phone tomorrow after using iPhones right from iphone3.
