Hi Bugsington,
I see that you are experiencing an issue where your text entry field in the Messages app is being obscured by a gray bar. I would like to suggest that you first update to iOS 9.0.1, which was released today, and see if the issue is resolved by this update. If the issue is still present, you should go to your Messages settings and toggle the “Show Subject Field” setting. Simply turning this on, returning to your Messages app, then returning to the Settings to turn off the field again should resolve the issue:

HI apple support. I have the same issue. But only since upgrading to 9.1 Any fix?a
Thank you!
My iPhone 5s has the same fault, very frustrating.
I am, as always, fully updated.
Hopefully Apple fixes this soon.
Helped me. Thanks and can always solve problem with "Google Search/Apple Discussions"
I too have had this issue after the updates. This fix is only temporary. The gray box will come back while I am texting someone. This is horrible and worse than annoying. I am losing faith in Apple.
thank you all for posting. it was indeed driving me bonkers
Here, here! C'mon Apple. Let's get a fix. Wish I could undo this update. Doesn't appear to be any pluses and a lot of minuses.
Brilliant now i can see what rubbish i am writing rather than writing more rubbish than usual
