since the new update, every time I use the keyboard in safari, it seems to have a glass like overlay over the whole screen so you can’t enter in information? Any ideas how to stop this?
iPhone 15, iOS 26
"I have the same issue, been going on for a month or so now. I’ve tried disabling all safari extensions, clearing all browser data etc but nothing has worked. Installed Firefox which works fine and have set it as my default browser."

Safari Issues:
A. Clear the System Data:
Have removed all extensions, and signing-out Safari, it may be a bug in the iOS app, particularly Safari . So, clear the caches. Caches are created so that apps open quicker, and operate more affectively. As things are learned, changes are made. So, to clear these, you need to clear the System Data shown in your iPhone's storage. Use my User Tip: How to Clear "System Data" in your iPhone's Storage: - User Tip
B. Report this to Apple:
Do your Part: Provide Apple with feedback on this, letting them know about this issue. Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what is occurring, and what bug fixes to include in updates to come. Apple will know nothing of this, if you don't report it to them.

Overlaying Keyboard:
Is this on all Web sites? Or just certain Web sites? If the line is blinking in the text box, then it’s active. And being blue, that indicates that is active. Being dulled out in the screenshot, it seems to be an overlay issue in the frame of the HTML code.
Otherwise, you might need to accept Terms & Conditions or pay to move on, which is commonly seen on subscription sites such as those for newspapers.
"My keyboard turned white earlier but after i went here to look for help and then it went back to normal however in i read a note that the PC register did not match crashing frame and a bug 308. I read it has an issue to do with Safari misbehaving but am not sure."

"Bug 308":
Secure your Account and Device:
You probably have someone have granted someone access to your accounts by accepting prompts for Two-Factor Authentication and/or biometrics (TouchTime or FaceTime). If you have no such use, then no worries with that. However, I would highly emphasize that you change your Apple Account eMail address, and use new passwords/passcodes for Apple and all other devices, delete then add new fingerprints, and then change your method of payment for Apple and other accounts. So, secure your information. The ultimate solution for your phone would be to reset it to factory settings, and then start it all over once more. If that would be too much of a risk of losing your data, then I would export data to locations such as cloud storage accounts.

Well that’s ideal but i was invited to test flight years ago and the developer had been messing with my account and vr so i have changed my email once. In guess I’ll do it again. I feel this issue is hardware related as i was given iPhone 14 and just got the Apple certified battery replaced and the phone is so hot, in think these apps are crashing due to my lack of knowledge with the os. I think more ram and better code as well as some accommodation should be installed as these are great phones and expensive. iPad12 days, I had my iPad in invert mode with color correction and other visual enhancements and same thing the iPad got confused and crashed. So yeah okay I’ll change my email.
