That is the Hover Typing feature.

To disable it, go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboards & Typing > then tap Hover Typing.

White bar shows up every time I type in my iPhone 16 I think I accidentally added something in settings late last night on my iPhone 16. Now a white bar shows up every time I type. I can slide it to either side to read my text so I thought it was a privacy setting? [Re-Titled By Moderator]

How do I get rid of this box? It gets in the way of several apps. This box shows up on my iPad every time I’m typing something on my iPad. It often interferes with buttons in apps, and the ability to move it is limited to two spots. I’d like to get rid of this all together if possible.
