Android app, can't go back and edit text you've already written while posting replies

As I write this as an OP, if I make a typo and want to go back I just tounch my finger on the word I want to change.

But if I try and do that while replying to an existing thread, nothing happens. I can't change the curser position. I know you very recently did an android app update, did it break something?

Morning, everyone. We released a new version of the Android app yesterday evening that we hope will resolve current issues. Please check for updates and let us know if you have any problems. Thank you.

I can now edit, but the text window is so small I cannot see what I've written?!?!

Hohofortherobbers · 30/03/2026 23:17

Am losing the will to be here anymore. This is utterly unusable

I can type 4 lines now before the send button disappears. But I still can't go back and edit!

Going to quote but not sure if I can because I can't see what I'm typing and also unable to go back and edit. MN has been great in rapport but couldn't do anything aboit it

Allonthesametrain · 30/03/2026 22:42

Same here but also can't see what I'm typing because it's out of viewat top of screen! Can only see now one line and before I could only write 2 sentences and unable to post. What's going on? It's ridiculous 😒

spiderlight · 30/03/2026 22:40

It's all off the top of tscreen for me now! Definitely worse.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 29/03/2026 10:21

I can't see what l am posting, it's gone from bad to worse.

Came here to say "it's been fixed"! But I hadn't posted beyond 3 lines of text. Clearly it's created a new problem 🤔

And me

TheEasterBunny3 · 28/03/2026 07:45

Still an issue for me

Hohofortherobbers · 28/03/2026 07:01

Has got worse!! Now when I post the keyboard covers the whole text box and i am blind to my reply until it is ready to post, when I minimise the keyboard and finally see the gibberish I have written, am so so frustrated by this,

mummabubs · 28/03/2026 06:36

So the cursor thing has fixed but this seems to have created a new problem where after three lines the whole box disappears and I can't see what I'm typing at all. There's a new thread that recently been made about this issue, possibly linked to trying to fix this one? Whole text box is off my screen at the moment so just hoping I've spelt everything correctly! And cancel that, the cursor issue isn't fixed as a few lines have reappeared but I can't click to edit.

It's still not working for me also the posts off others and probably me are taking ages to appear 🙄

BiscoffCheesecakes · 25/03/2026 15:24

This is working now sometimes but not all the time

Like Mumsnet haiku

😆

Schoolchoicesucks · 22/03/2026 23:45

Oh I was blaming my phone for this and was coming to terms with the idea of having to fork out for a new one. But maybe I can eke another few months out instead if it's just the MN app gremlins...

Onelifeonly · 22/03/2026 17:50
