my messages typing bar shows a timer (0.00), and this prevents me from typing. how do i remove the timer?
iPhone 5s, iOS 7
Are you sure you have IOS 7 ? On iPads you could add audio messages with IOS 8. The timer showed how long the message was. If I remember correctly there should be an X you can tap to clear ut.

I upgraded to 9.0.2 and get the same thing on both my work iphone which is a 5s and my personal phone which was a 6. I upgraded to the 6s and it is still doing it.
The only thing I found that works is to close the application (double tap the home button then swipe it up to close) and then it goes away for a few messages then comes back.
So it is doing it on at least three different iphones which tells me it is a software glitch that Apple is ignoring for now.
thank you both so much. the issue comes on and off so next time it occurs i'll try these solutions and see if they work. i will report here! thanks again
Thanks for the tip, It will help the next person with the problem. Please be sure to send Apple feedback at the link below.
You're welcome.
This has been discussed numerous times in the iOS forums since iOS 9 came out. It is some sort of bug.
One thing that I have read that fixes it for some users is to go to Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field>Off. If it is already off, turn in on and then turn it off again.
