A grey bar has appeared in the text message box

A grey bar has appeared in the text message box, so I cannot see the text I'm typing. The bar has '0:00' on the right hand side (in white). Text still works, but I can't see it until it has sent.This started happening after installing iOS 9.0.1 on my iPhone 5s.

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.0.1

I fixed the problem by rebooting. Press sleep/wake button on top (right) of iPhone 5s.

I found the solution here:
