Message app - texting bar moved and can’t move back

Somehow the area you type your message in for the Message App moved to the middle so the conversation thread runs behind it. I don’t know how it happened or how to fix it and it’s driving me CRAZY! Any ideas how I move it back to the bottom of my screen? I’ve held it down & tried to drag, tried tapping, tried tapping other areas of the screen to move it there, nothing has worked. Help!!!

Hello marci198.


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


If I'm understanding correctly, the text box in the Messages app is in the middle of the screen instead of at the bottom. I will be glad to assist.


Let's force close Messages then restart your iPhone to see if that works:
