Android 7 (Nougat): All my virtual keyboards are missing - can't find how to reinstall Recently all my virtual keyboards disappeared. Whenever I go to any app that needs keyboard input, the only option I get is voice input. If I tap the "X" to close the voice input, nothing happens. If I go to language &amp; keyboard, then virtual keyboard, all it has is Google voice typing. 

The only thing "suspicious" is that I recently went through a system update. I don't know if that specifically caused my issue but before the update it seems like I had my keyboard. I just didn't pay enough attention around the update to pinpoint it as the problem.

I've gotten around this issue by installing Gboard but I don't want a secondary app just to have a keyboard on my phone. I've searched through all my apps for anything with keyboard in the name and nothing is showing up.

Is there a way to reinstall the "default virtual keyboard"?
Have you wiped cache/factory reset after update?
Maybe check under language and input in settings to find the device's factory installed virtual keyboard.

Response: I don't want to do a factory reset. I've added a lot of apps and customized the "look and feel" and don't want to do that all over again. The keyboard was working after all that. I'm hoping for a different solution.
