How can I disable the Black Text box on iPhone

I have a new iPhone running iOS 18.1.1

Whenever I am typing there is an additional black box with the text I am inputting. The normal Text is seen in the normal place, but there is an additional text box in black with a white border and white text.


What is it for ? How do I get rid of it?
