When I use mattermost mobile app 1.9.0 in iOS, I can’t use the Japanese keyboard correctly. The Japanese keyboard converts hiragana(phonetic symbols) to kanji(ideographic symbols), but it doesn’t work in mobile app. This is a bug or my settings are incorrect? Do you have any ideas? ---

I encountered the same. Usually, when we input japanese character, that characters are highlighted and can be converted other japanese format such as Katakana and Kanji and so on. ![image](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex020/uploads/mattermost/original/2X/9/9c87ab47fcf84013a221662b1b16ebb7484f2e95.jpg) But on Mattermost mobile app v1.9.0 (build 112), inputted japanese character isn’t highlighted and cannot be converted. (I connect to mattermost server v5.0.0, [pre-release.mattermost.com](http://pre-release.mattermost.com)) ![image](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex020/uploads/mattermost/original/2X/c/c8a31b172cc83c0cfb5f55bc9d5ecdf34bc3bf28.jpg) I find similar problems on other input box (search message, search channel, createchannel). This problem is critical problem for communications in japanese. ---

It looks like a regression in RN dunno if we can do something about it but I can try and take a look, do you know if it was working fine for 1.8? That version uses a previous version of react-native ---

@elias Sorry, I’m not sure if this was working fine for 1.8, because I had not inputted text on mobile app. But recently I have seen someone reporting this problem, so I suppose that it was working fine for 1.8. ---
