Auto scroll while typing stops working

My iphone16 intermittently stops auto scrolling while typing in several apps (Teams, Messaging, Outlook email) forcing me to manually scrolle down to see what I’m typing. How do I fix this?

iPhone 16, iOS 26

How can I stop my iPhone 11 from scrolling while typing? So i have an iPhone 11 and sometimes whenever i text someone, doesn't matter which app it automatically scrolls up as i press the letters on the keyboard, i'm wondering if this is a problem with the touchscreen or perhaps some hidden setting however im more inclined towards the first option, even then its always better to make things sure.

How to prevent my iPhone 15 Plus from scrolling automatically? When i am texting or typing, or even browsing the web, my iphone 15 plus scrolls up to the top. In fact it did it a few times while i was typing this. Its SO annoying. Is there something i need to adjust? I have had older iphones ( 2 6S pluses and a five) and have never seen this. Its maddening. Help!!!! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

text keypad covers text area on iPhone 14 Pro Max When using Facebook, typing a response, the keyboard covers the text area. Cannot scroll to make it viewable. Have to exit keyboard, look at text, then open keyboard to edit. This is something new. What setting did I inadvertently change?

Make sure you are on 26.2, that you have default display zoom set in Display & Brightness, not larger text zoom, and if it still does it, report a bug https://apple.com/feedback
