Can’t see what I am typing on Facebook Messenger on IPad Pro

I also have this problem. I have found that rotating to portrait and back will fix it.

Still just really annoying and has gotten through multiple OS releases and it’s still a problem.

One workaround is to do the following:

1. Press and hold the down arrow symbol at the right of suggestion bar.
2. The soft keyboard will pop up.
3. Pinch it with 2 fingers to turn it into small floating keyboard. OR Press and hold the keyboard symbol on the right and select floating keyboard that appears.
4. You can move the floating keyboard to any place on the screen so that you see the text field.
5. You can type with Apple Smart Keyboard or the floating keyboard!

I have the same problem. It seems to only be a recent problem. I’m using a Logitech Slim Folio (physical) keyboard on a regular iPad purchased new in 2017.

The suggestion works but it puts the floating keyboard on the screen, blocking content. Since I’m using a physical keyboard, I don’t need that floating keyboard. So this is a klunky workaround. And yes, Facebook Messenger is designed to work on the iPad in landscape mode.

Again, this is a new problem.

Do you mean that you use the Smart Keyboard for the iPad? I don't use Facebook Messenger, so is the text box at the bottom of the app? Have you contacted Facebook support to ask them about this? Is this app designed for the iPad, or just the iPhone? I believe you are best served by contacting Facebook support.
