Irritating iMessage App Bar

How do I remove the app bar from iMessage iOS?


I don't put goofy gifs, or meme's, or clownish avatars on my texts, and prefer the options not pop up due to close proximity to the digital keyboard.


Can I remove the bar, or shift it to the bottom of the keyboard?


If Apple has forced this upon users, what alternate text app does this community recommend?

To the left of the text input bubble is a gray icon that looks like the App Store app. Tap it.
