Not being able to communicate with teammates during matches in Among Us is a huge problem. Among Us is a game that is all about coordinating your team while trying to find the suspect.

Not being able to type in Among Us is a huge issue and is quite common at the same time. So, if you are wondering “Why I can’t type in Among Us,” then here is how you can solve this issue. 

How To Solve Can’t Type in Among Us Chat Issue?

The issue came into being when the quick chat option was introduced in the Among us game. This update locked all the players below the age of 18 out of the quick chat option.

So, you can just fix the issue by changing the in-game age. But there might be some barriers while doing so, one of them being permission from parents. That is because online games have always been said to have foul language. 

To fix the issue, you can follow the steps mentioned below. 

Changing Your Age On iOS Device

iOS doesn’t provide people with many choices when it comes to clearing system cache and data. The only proven way is to reinstall the game. Here is how to do it. 

• Tap and hold the Among Us icon app and choose to Remove App from the drop-down menu. 
• Choose Delete and then confirm your action. 
• Go to the iOS App store and download & install the game. 
• Start the game and provide an age that makes it look like you are above 18. 

And with that, you will be able to use the free chat option.

Changing Age on Android Devices

• Go to Settings on the Android device. 
• Now, Find your way to Apps & Notifications.
• Locate the Among Us game and tap on it.
