iMessage emoji and talk to text icons half off screen

The iMessage emoji and talk to text icons are half way off my X and are completely unusable. The display is in Standard view, not Zoomed and the iOS is current. They do not work when the phone is in portrait orientation.

Here's the solution that worked for the X after a very long time with Apple support. All the people I talked with were wonderful.


Perform a backup (we used icloud) and erase the phone, then restored from that backup. Some combination of settings were likely the issue. Regardless, the icons are now fully functional.

Hello MKelker,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with your emoji and microphone icons showing half off of the screen. When did this issue start? Does this occur in all apps that use the keyboard? Does restarting your iPhone resolve the issue?


Cheers!
