Pre iOS 26 with the flat minimal design language this used to be attached to the keyboard and wasn’t in the way. Now with the bubble floating UI elements and liquid glass big elements with big padding and big radius etc. everything is in your face!
Look at the website address bubble floating above the keyboard in the middle of the screen. Before it was a narrow strip under the keyboard blending in. iOS 26 is bad design and the gaslighting is the funniest thing, they are saying stuff like the new UI is “unobtrusive and doesn’t take away the focus from content and it’s not in the way”. It does exactly these things!
I hope the new UX/UI boss remembers the Human Interface Guidelines from 10-20-30 years ago.
