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.

"Moved" doesn't actually mean "removed".
