I have downloaded the fire tv app on my iPhone 6s and all functions se

I have downloaded the fire tv app on my iPhone 6s and all functions seem to be working except the keyboard. When I open the keyboard the app says “this app is not using the standard fire tv keyboard, so some features are not available.” Any suggestions on how to get this working?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I have the same problem - I don’t know why the keyboard isn’t working in the Fire TV App but by accident I found that if I tap the center if the app screen instead of keyboard I am suddenly prompted to type (and not scroll to every letter).

Anyone who knows more about the keyboard - I’d still love to use it and it would be much appreciated. Thx!!

This works, thanks. I've bought multiple bluetooth keyboards that claim to work with my firestick and they did not work either but the app works like you said when you touch the center of the screen in the app.

Four actually:

(1) Download GBoard app,

(2) Jailbreak phone,

(3) Dump the iPhone like a rude ex and buy a Samsung S8, or

(4) Just use the remote that came with your Stick.

I'd choose #1 but #3 is a great option!
