Can't scroll back to previous message while texting after iOS 17 update I remember the first time this happened was after the previous iOS 16 update. As you were texting the reply box would get bigger and bigger and hide the previous message. However, I had discovered that there was a little arrow to the left of the reply box that take you back to the previous message. Now since the 17 update that little arrow is no longer there!! There is just a + that has other settings. If I pull down on the screen it will take me back to the previous message until my reply box is too big and then it takes up the whole screen and I can't see the previous message at all!! So frustrating these updates that muck around changing things when it all worked just fine!!! How do I read my previous message now!? It's important to be able to scroll back so I can refresh my memory on everything the text said so I can reply back properly.

Arrow to Collapse Text Box is Gone I’m assuming this is now considered a “feature,” but it’s very frustrating that the arrow to collapse the text box in the messages app doesn’t exist anymore in iOS 17. I use that thing frequently because I hate sending multiple texts back to back. Just in case I missed it, is there a setting to bring it back, a workaround, or a chance Apple will put it back in?
