iOS 26 Text Entry Fields

ever since this latest update, anytime I go to reply using a text enter field, whether it’s on a forum or using an app, including the native Messages app, the field will scroll all by itself and there’s now a new bar that appears with the password, payment method location, and a checkmark. And that’s just on one browser even Safari has a new appearance and anytime I tap into a box to start typing something that box scrolls up by itself and then I have to hit return or click a check box to get it to partway come back down and then I have to scroll down to get it all the way down so that I can then go back in and hard press to put my finger in the middle of the text where it needs to be so that I can keep going. It’s highly inconvenient and I’m not sure what change was made, but I hope it gets fixed or reverted soon because it’s absolutely annoying and requires more patience than I have.

Exasperating issue.

I use element.scrollTop prior to tapping textbox text entry field. When I tap the textbox entry field, the virtual keyboard pops up and rather than reposition the textbox appropriately to enable text entry, the div scrolls to the prior element.scrollTop position, which usually means the textbox is no longer visible. This does not seem to be a Safari issue since it happens with Chrome and Edge iPhone browsers as well.


It started when I updated to iOS 26 and persists into iOS 26.1.
