Keyboard not showing on Apple Watch Series 7

Hi!


My Apple Watch is not showing the keyboard. I've heard of swiping from the bottom, but that is not an option for me.


Hoping for feedback

If settings are now English but behaviour is incorrect there is a progressive hierarchy of remedies...

First force restart the Watch

i.e. press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.

 Then, although it may seem irrelevant, while it is restarting Force Restart the paired iphone   Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (UK)

Test it for a while. If it is still misbehaving... Unpair and set up again

 Unpair and erase your Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK)

and then

Set up your Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK)

You may also want to make sure the software on the watch and iphone are both up to date.

Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If you've completed that troubleshooting and the issue is still not resolved, Contact Support.
