How to fix limited access to keyboard buttons after updating to iOS 18.4.1 on iPhone XR?

As the title says, I did just updated the software to ios 18.4.1 but have limited access to the button underneath my keyboard. The globe icon and microphone buttons are pushed far to the side. I did tried to shutdown my phone to see if that’ll fix it but the issue remained the same. I also tried to move the keyboard to the side, but that also wouldn’t work but the buttons don’t work at all. I don’t know how to fix this and I’m curious to know if this is happening to anyone’s iphone Xr.

The globe and microphone buttons are too far off to the side and it won’t let me use them at all.

Hello!

First, please perform a forced restart. This will fix any glitches in the software: Force restart iPhone - Apple Support. It’s a good idea to do a forced restart after every update.

If the issue persists, I recommend you get in touch with Apple Support, so the issue can be elevated to the appropriate people who can fix it if it’s indeed a bug:

Telephone: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support.
Online #1: Start your request online.
Online #2: Support
Live Chat: Live Chat with an Apple Advisor in Messages.
More Contact Info: Contact - How to Contact Us - Apple.

Have a great day!
