Why am I getting 0.00 in message window for texts

AAfter I updated to iOS 9 I started getting a grey are in window where text is typed with '0.00' in it. I've no clue why this appears or what it's for and I can't see what I'm typing. I have an iPhone 5. The only way I can get rid is to reboot the phone. Help would be much appreciated re getting rid of this from text messages, thanks!!

Try it again. Close the messages app completely, and force restart the phone and see if that makes it stay away.


Press the Home button two times quickly. You'll see previews of your recently used apps. Swipe left to find the app you want to close. Swipe up on the app's preview to close it.


To force restart your device, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

I was having an issue with this too. You can do a Software Restore but if it doesn't work try this: the software thinks you are putting your phone up to hear a voice text message. If you don't use that feature, best to settings-message-and toggle off the hold up to listen message. It will not happen again, this also helped my screen from turning off when the phone is turned to landscape text. Also, informed a Sr. Advisor at tech support, they are aware of this now and will be letting the engineers know.
