Why Can’t I Dial Letters on iPhone 

 

Sometimes you get to experience this issue of your keyboard crashing when you want to dial letters or even numbers. 

Do not worry, in this guide, we would be showing the possible solution to these issues 

The reason why your iPhone phone dial keeps crashing should be in any of these three

• Your iPhone is experiencing some software problem
• Your phone app keeps crashing due to the unresponsiveness of the app
• your iPhone display is not functioning well. 

 

Before trying to figure out what exactly is wrong with your phone you should, first of all, make some checks to know if it’s a general issue or is just your phone app. 

 

First, try using your keyboard with other apps to be sure that it is not a general problem, this will help in identifying the solution to your issue. 

 

With all said and done, below are the possible solutions that you can apply when you’re facing any issue with your keyboard or Call Dial centre. 

 

Solution 1: Close all Apps 

 

When you’re using your phone, you tend to open many apps and all are arranged for you according to how you opened them. 

The reason for this is because the phone is built to help you just minimize and go to the next app and continue what you were doing. 

But what we fail to understand is that sometimes the phone over-tasks and this way it will start hanging and probably stop some apps from responding. 

 

The best you can do in this situation is to close all open apps and wait for some time to let the phone cool, then open the app again. With this, I’m sure the app will respond and you can dial any number or letter. 

 

Solution 2: Update Your iOS Version 

 

When you are using an expired version of iOS, Apple will send you an update that you should update to the latest version which you are supposed to do to keep your phone away from lagging. 

 

If the apps or your phone starts hanging, you should consider updating to the latest version of iOS and this might stop your phone from hanging or apps from crashing.
