iOS - Google Search Window Disappears Behind Safari Address Bar

After the latest iOS update version 16.1 (20B82), when I use Safari to access Google, as soon as I tap into the search window, the search window disappears behind the Safari address bar at the top of the screen, so I can’t see what I’m typing. Seems like a bug, because it did not use to do this. Is any one else having this problem?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

Mine is a line I type in at the top of the page, but I can finally see what I’m typing now (address bar also at the top of the screen as well which the line is just under)

I thought it was always like that on mobile though, so you could see more previous search results below? Can’t remember actually typing in the search box before…quite a few heavy nights since this issue first began though so can’t quite remember either way :)

Thanks for that. That’s what my screen looks like now as well. However, on my iPad the search box is in the middle of the screen and I type in the actual search box. But like you said, I can’t remember now what my iPhone 11 looked like before 16.2 update. But I thought I typed in the actual search box and not at the top on a line. But I could be wrong.

Whilst moving the address bar to the bottom was a workaround for my 14 Pro (16.2), I think I also have a workaround for the address bar on the top that seems to work.


Hit the double AA on the left of the address bar and at the top of that page you’ll probably see something like A 100% A. Hit the bigger A on the right till the centre figure goes to 115% then come out and go back to the main Google page. Obviously everything looks slightly larger, but typing into the search box now will hopefully not be hidden at the top. Worked on mine anyway!
