Keyboard is covering the text box on the cover screen

[Members_1Unwsm3]

I use my cover screen to reply to messages all the time. In the last week, I'm not able to do this anymore. When I try to reply to messages on the cover screen, I can't see what I'm typing because the text box is blocked by the keyboard.

My phone just started doing this. Tried every trick to fix. I usually never have to open my phone to text. It's so annoying

My wife's s25 ultra just started doing this a couple of days ago. My s25 ultra doesn't have this issue. Strange. We were chatting with a samsung tech last night to no avail. Reading these here, it's sounding like a Google issue not really samsung. Any way to check if this issue is being worked on? Why some phones and not others?

Hello everyone, Welcome to the Community, and thank you for reaching out. We know how frustrating it is the keyboard is covering the text in Messages.

Has anyone tried to reset the keyboard settings? For the Samsung keyboard go to Phone Settings>General Management>Samsung keyboard settings>Reset to default settings

Thank you @MichaelDrums for the steps to switch to Samsung Messages. This is a great workaround. 

We also recommend sending feedback to Samsung: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tips-Tricks/How-to-Send-Feedback/ba-p/3001692

You can go into the app through the apps tab under settings and delete the updates, and that takes care of it.
