I thought I just might be the only one having Braille Screen input issues. If I 
try to use it when responding to a text message, or one in Messenger, I'll be 
writing merrily along when suddenly nothing at all happens, and the screen 
seems to freeze, except that the rotor still works and I can get out of the 
screen and back to the text at the point where it stops. So, I've given up 
using BSI altogether, and, whether in messages or Messenger, I activate and use 
only the MBraille keyboard. Then, after writing my text, I perform the 
three-finger gesture from top to bottom of screen which converts braille to 
printed text and send my text. If you don't have MBraille, it's definitely 
worth $39.95 to buy it in the APP store. I must conclude this post by saying 
that this problem with Braille Screen input is a bug that has emerged only in 
the past week or so., at least that's the case on my iPhone 8. Long live 
MBraille!!!
