iMessage doesn't scroll up automatically when typing

When writing a longer text message and you get to the bottom of the window pane - iMessage doesn’t scroll up so what you write disappears down below what you can see. Please fix!

iPhone 13, iOS 26

Happens to me too. It stops scrolling after the eighth typed line.


My work around: Once your text has disappeared off the bottom of the screen, manually swipe the text up until you can see your last typed word. The cursor should be there and blinking (if not, tap at the end of the word). You can then continue to type from there and the screen will scroll as normal for as long as you need.


Obviously a bug that, hopefully, someone on this forum will see and address in a future update.
