I have never had a keyboard paired with my phone braille or bluetooth. Yet I have this vanishing keyboard issue several times a week. Apple Accessibility has tried a variety of fixes and even accused me of having an unknown keyboard in the house that was interfereing with my phone. They actually told me someone else in the house might have a braille or bluetooth keyboard in the house that was messing with my phone. I was home alone at the time. And had bluetooth turned off and had rebooted the phone and had reset the phone in settings. What I have discovered is that most times if I turn off bluetooth then reboot the phone then turn on bluetooth that the keyboard will become visible again. This is a solid reboot and not just turning off the phone. If that does not work I sometimes can go into messages and into search and dictate and just act like I am dictating. Once the keyboard comes up I can cancel out of the search and the keyboard stays visible. This bug is more frequent than people realize and is easily googled. Apple really needs to address it as it was present even when I had my 8+ and still gives me issues on the 12 Pro Max.
