Text Message Bar Gone on iPhone & iPad After Update to 17.0.1

I have no "A" in front of my message bubble to click on to get photos, #images, memoji stickers, or message effects. I just see a plus sign. I have to click on that to get to photos, #images, etc. Why this extra step now?

iPhone 14, iOS 17

How do you get the #images, emoji bar back after the 17.1.1 update.

I press the + and now I got a bunch of choices of pictures gifs and so on, but I can't get back to that text box. This will definitely be my last Apple iphone. This step backwards and the fact that I can't use Alexa in Carplay is the other reason I'll be going to Android in the near future goodbye Apple
