Annoying bubble above keyboard

With this new update, there is now this additional annoying bubble above my keyboard each time for example I send a text or do a chat. It contains an up arrow a down arrow, and then a checkmark. I see absolutely no purpose in this other than to make me have to do an additional step. How do I remove that feature? Does anybody know what the purpose of that is? Thanks in advance for any help. Bill.

Its supposed to let you move between fields in a form, with the up and down arrows, and dismiss the keyboard with the checkmark should you need to see something under the keyboard that is otherwise obscured, like a submit button for example.


No, there is currently no way to get rid of it, but you can offer Apple feedback and if enough people do, they may choose to remove it or offer a way to disable it.
