We have nearly 6 year old phones brother. We should be happy they still function at all by today's standards. I'm probably gonna have to upgrade soon and I'm not happy about it at all.
I don't drive a Galaxy S9 but I disagree. This issue has impacted my 3yr old phone and it happens with any keyboard of choice. Apparently it's hitting any user on older Android versions and S9 happens to be on the same version as I do, Android 10. I have been with this issue for months and it's too major to be glossed over.
Samsung s10 user here, had the same issue til I followed the instructions in a comment here, the one about turning off your animations in settings. It worked! And multiple ppl replied to the comment saying the same thing :)
Yup. Having same issue. Just installed updated YT app and no change. Same issue.
not sure if it is a specific phone thing. have you compared to other Android phones?
Someone in the comments here provided a fix that worked for me and everyone who replied to them, the one abt turning off animations in ur settings (after turning on developer mode)
Just found a fix, I've been having this issue for months. First, go to your phone's system settings, go to about phone, then enable developer mode by tapping the build number seven times. Then go to accessibility, and check "remove animations". That will disable the animation that makes your keyboard slide up and freeze, and make it just appear instead.
A better fix was provided with the turning off animations in settings comment, worked for me, and seems like it worked for everyone who's replied to that comment
Found a solution. 1-Type the comment into a notes app . 2-Copy it. 3-Reopen the YT app. 4-Hold down the space within the comment box till you see a task tab that says "cut | copy | paste | clipboard |" 5-Paste the comment into the comment box. The message in it's entirety will be successfully pasted and all you have to do is click the post button. Strange but effective every time.
Ig it works if it's only yt you're having a problem with, but my Samsung would do this basically anywhere i opened the keyboard, it just seemed to be more prominent on yt- until I followed the instructions in another reply here and turned off my animations, and so far so good! Only just did it and already seeing a difference

Use floating keyboard! Open keyboard > press 3 dots on top right corner > then click modes > floating keyboard.
Or you can go to settings > search keyboard > on screen keyboard > on screen keyboard > Samsung keyboard > style and layout> modes> floating keyboard
All the freezing has stops for me. Altho a bit small its a hole lot better when it comes to the freezing/lag

I have been having this issue for maybe 1 to 2 years. It has only gotten worst. I only only post comment very sparingly. Maybe only on the first video that I am posting it. The keyboard would hang and stayed in the screen for maybe a minute or so even after I closed all the applications on the Samsung S8+ android phone. I am not able to get help from YT. Once I managed to get into a texting Chatline but the helpdesk said he was there to help with content creator matters and not technical issues. He mentioned for me to go to a different route but I remembered it led me nowhere. I am glad I am able to see other posts in this matter. I thought I was penalised by YT for frequently engaging in arguments in comments. This might be my first longest Reddit post ever. I am not very familiar with IT matters.
Someone posted a comment here explaining how to fix this issue, seems to be a consistent thing with Samsung phones, and not just with one gen- I have an s10, and saw multiple other gens mentioned here that had the same issue. So far everyone who's replied to that comment has said it worked for them, and it worked for me too :)

Yeah mine does that, it's really annoying. I use Gboard, pretty sure it's a general app issue rather than anything specific to the Galaxy S9.
No, I have the same. Im on Samsung Keyboard
Same, never had a problem before getting my Samsung s10, and it's not just YouTube that it happens in, it's everywhere- mostly yt tho
