Quick Nav Problem

Hello,

I upgraded to iOS 26 overnight and I am having a couple of problems with quick nav. When the passcode unlock screen pops up and requests a passcode to unlock the phone, I am unable to type anything into the passcode field. I toggle quick nav off, and when I try to type into the field the keyboard does not type into it.

This was a rather serious problem when I tried to upgrade my watch. In the watch app, after waiting twelve hours for the upgrade to be downloaded, I clicked on the "Install" button. The app then requested a passcode to proceed. I disabled quick nav, and then tried to use my keyboard to enter the passcode, and the app did not respond correctly. Further, the on-screen keyboard remained hidden.

After some work around with Apple Tech Support, we finally got the keyboard to show up so I could use the on-screen keyboard to allow me to enter the passcode. We went to the Note app, and created a new note and tried to type into it. The characters were not getting into the note text field. We used the option menu to change from list objects to text editing. I then turned off my keyboard, and went to watch app update screen and clicked on "Install," and the on-screen keyboard came up so I was able to proceed on that matter.

However, I am still unable to use my external keyboard to enter text. This is rather a serious problem for me as I rely almost entirely on my external keyboard to interact with the phone.
