Disappearing keyboard issue

[Rob Verhoeff]

@Hubert-Thoring I admit, in that mode that setting does indeed mess up the keyboard! I’m glad I don’t use that setting

No problem iPhone 11 with iOS 18.6.2 Display zoom set to larger text.

@Nick-Carthew Also not on the 13 (18.7.2). I’m guessing it’s not so much the device, but the iOS version. On the 16 I can’t go back anymore.

Nice found!! This is indeed the cause!

One swallow doesn’t make a summer the same as one test result isn’t conclusive. See my and @Rob-Verhoeff test results below using iOS 18.

It is apparently an iOS 26.1 topic because with my iPhone Xr with current iOS 18.7.2 I have not been able to find any problem.

[Corjan Meijerink]

Even on iOS 26.1 I don’t have the issue
I hate this issue.

At least we have some pointers I guess.

@Hubert-Thoring sharing this information is obviously a different category Thanks!

I’ve been in touch with @Klaus-29 today using the support channels

Yeah, I can imagine that...!

Just tested it again, selection "Display zoom" on the iPhone 16e with the following note.

Horizontal / vertical :

Mobile phone held horizontal, then the keyboard remains, a search with text input is possible. Keyboard surface large and comfortable. However, if I turn it vertically, the keyboard disappears.

Mobile phone vertically then the keyboard only flickers very briefly and disappears again, no input possible, but I then turn it horizontally and tap on search, the keyboard appears as described above.

Size of the mobile phone display:

• 6.1" (on iPhone 16e)

In horizontal, the keyboard seems to fit for the display.

In vertical it looks like the same layout of the display for the keyboard should be done but this does not fit for vertical at all...

Note:

What is noticeable is that in the "standard display" so without display zoom the MRA menu behaves very restlessly when turning so jumps and the keyboard behaves optically quiet when turning...

@Nick-Carthew Wish it was summer already You have to admit these are pretty solid findings, right? I am seeing the same issue here as well on a 16 pro with iOS 26.1.

[Nick Carthew]

@CD130 But the master ninja himself (Corjan) cannot reproduce it with iOS 26.
‘Tis a strange one.
