The gray bar that shows over where you are trying to type a message.
Has anyone found a true fix for this? I don't have the problem but a friend does and none of the fixes I've found online have worked long term.

I have the same problem with my iphone. It drives me crazy. I have to guess at what I am sending is what I want to say.

I looked on line and found one possible answer. Under Messages in Settings, turn on character count. I did this and the gray bar went away. Hope it stays away!!

I made it go away from my stepmother's phone by rebooting. That didn't work on my phone but it went away on its own overnight. ?? I'll try the character count thing if it ever comes back.

On my friend's phone it's hit and miss. Sometimes she'll go days without it, sometimes it will be every message all day.

I had it, too, but it disappeared on its own when I rebooted my phone.

I haven't got a permanent fix, but it is easy to get rid of by double clicking the home button to show the open apps, then closing the message app by flicking it up. When you open the message app again the bar will be gone ... until the next time it randomly appears.

So far the character count thing is working, (knocking on wood)! I threaten to let my husband us my Iphone for target practice. This phone drives me batty.

I missed the letter R... was wondering how you got a gay bar in your phone.. I didn't see the R either. Confused for a moment. |

Glad I'm not the only one who read it as "gay bar" at first. LOL! |
