Hi user0ySuSmlPS2, thank you for reaching out, and welcome to the Community. I can see how inconvenient it is to not be able to type in your messages.
First thing to try is wiping your device's cache partition. After updates, this can help improve device behavior. The steps are: • Ensure the device is powered off. If the device is unresponsive/frozen, press and hold the Power button for approximately 10 seconds or until the device power cycles. • Press and hold the Volume Up button and the Home button. • While continuing to hold the Home and Volume Up buttons, press and hold the Power button until 'RECOVERY BOOTING' appears in the upper left then release all buttons. • Select wipe cache partition. Utilize the Volume Up/Down buttons to highlight and the Power button to select. • Select reboot system now. Option is highlighted, utilize the Power button to select.
If the cache clear still has your messages frozen from typing, try Safe Mode to see if a third-party application may be responsible. You can use this guide for Safe Mode: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062983/
If messages behaves the same way under Safe Mode, it may be time to try a factory reset. Make sure to follow the guide carefully, and back up everything you do not wish to lose: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062029/
If the troubleshooting is not helpful, the phone will need to be evaluated by a certified technician.
