My space bar stopped working

[iMore Question]

All of a sudden, my iPhone 6 space bar has stopped working. It takes forever to type a sentence having to continuously go back and forth on the space bar to get it to work. I have tried rebooting it and it doesn't seem to work..

Have you tried a forced restart?

Where does it happen? iMessage? Anywhere?

I have this problem since the iOS 9.3.1 update with my 6s. Tried all recommendations and nothing helping...

Does that spot on your phone respond to touch? Maybe it's a dead spot on the phone. Or try another keyboard like swiftkey. See if that works.

Try another keyboard like swiftkey and see if it responds to that. Maybe it's the stock keyboard or maybe it's a dead spot in the phones display.
