Auto correct/spell checker/suggestion line in Fb Messenger

While I am in Fb Messenger and using the iPad, the "suggestion line" pops up and covers the text line where I am and I can't see what I'm typing. There is a down arrow on the right and touching it will remove the "suggestion line" but it pops right back up as soon as a type a character. Is there any way to not have the "suggestion line" at all?

iPad, 12

Can’t see what I am typing on Facebook Messenger on IPad Pro The auto correct keyboard covers my text field while typing on Facebook Messenger on my iPad. I can hit the down arrow to see the text field but as soon as I start typing the auto correct/suggestion bar pops up from the bottom and completely covers my text field. I have deleted and re installed twice to no avail. I am using the Apple keyboard and running the very latest OS on my iPad. Thanks

Why can’t we place cursor anywhere we want to edit texts? Does anyone else hate some of these “short cuts” Apple’s decided to add to 12? I want to at least have the option of turning off the “long press space bar to release cursor” short cut and replace with old fashioned “put the darned cursor wherever I put my finger (on the screen 🤭)” Does anyone know if this is possible?

Have you tried turning off Predictive Text in settings/general/keyboard?
